|---|---|
| Main Objective: Assessing non-inferiority of the regimen with Atripla at alternate days (arm A) versus the standard of care (arm B) at week 48 in terms of proportion of patients with HIV RNA below 40 copies/mL.;Secondary Objective: # Evaluate the changes in CD4 + T lymphocyte counts in the two arms. # Evaluate the changes in safety parameters in the two arms. # Assess the proportion of new mutations EFV-associated in case of virological failure in the two arms. # Evaluate the plasma concentrations (C trough) of efavirenz in the two arms. # Evaluate the impact of both regimens on quality of life. # Evaluate the impact of both dosing regimens on adherence to ARV therapy. # To assess the prevalence of SNPs in the CYP2B6 and the correlation between SNPs and plasma concentrations of efavirenz in both arms. # Evaluate the change in lipid parameters in both arms. # Perform a cost-effective in both arms.;Primary end point(s): Assessing the proportion of patients with virological failure in the Atripla at alternate days arm (A) versus the standard of care (arm B) at week 48;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 48 weeks | — |
