Suggest Treatment For Chronic Osteomyelitis

I have chronic austeomylatus since 2000 (abscess requires daily dressing), and subsequently diagnosed HIV+. In addition, NHL set in and had radiotherapy and aggressive chemotherapy. Latest results show the NHL is under control and appears resolved for two years now. In 2013 I suffered congestive cardiac failure and am now on medication since then inclusive of Atripla. Is there a way of controlling the austeomylatus?
