Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Exclusion criteria • Presence of an opportunistic infection or an AIDS-defining illness, unless they are directly attributable to the acute seroconversion illness • Receipt of investigational research agents within 30 days prior to study entry • Receipt of prior experimental HIV vaccines. Individuals who received a saline placebo in a prior HIV vaccine trial are not excluded, provided that they did not receive a sham vector or an adjuvant. • Receipt of immunosuppressive medications or immune-modulators (e.g., cytokine therapy) within the past 6 months. • Current anti-tuberculosis prophylaxis or therapy • Serious illness other than acute HIV infection requiring systemic treatment or hospitalization until either therapy is completed or patient is clinically stable on therapy • Hepatitis C (HCV Ab positive) or hepatitis B infection (Positive hepatitis B surface antigen, HBsAg) • Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding • Renal function with CrCl below 50 mL/min • Severe hepatic impairment • Known hypersensitivity to the study drug, the metabolites or formulation excipients.
