Increases in inflammatory biomarkers have been associated with various non-AIDS complications such as cardiovascular events. Maraviroc has no known toxic effects on mitochondria and has been shown to reduce immune activation / inflammation in treatment intensification settings. The purpose of this study is to investigate if switching from NRTIs to Maraviroc results in reversal of NRTI-associated mitochondrial toxicity and decreases in markers of immune activation and inflammation.
