  • Recovery to =\< grade 1 from all toxicities associated with prior therapy
  • Not pregnant or breast-feeding; woman of child bearing potential should have a negative pregnancy test (serum beta-human chorionic gonadotropin \[HCG\]) within 7-14 days of starting cycle 1 of treatment; woman of child bearing potential should have a negative pregnancy test (serum beta-HCG) within 10-14 days of starting cycle 2, the start of lenalidomide treatment (i.e. days 14-18 of cycle 1), and an additional test within 24 hours of starting cycle 2 treatment
  • Patient must agree to use adequate contraception for 4 weeks prior to the start of lenalidomide and up to 28 days following the last dose of lenalidomide to avoid risk of pregnancy
  • Women of child-bearing potential will be required to use two methods of birth control; one "highly effective method" and one "additional effective method" as defined below:

  • Cluster of differentiation (CD) 4 count \> 500/mm\^3
  • Not receiving highly active anti-retroviral therapy (HAART) or anti-HIV viral therapy
  • HIV viral load \< 10,000 HIV messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) copies/mm\^3
  • No history of acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS)-defining illness

Exclusion

  • Patients may not be receiving any other investigational agents
  • Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements
