Note: hormonal contraceptives are not considered a sufficient form of contraceptive for this study. * Complete abstinence from intercourse from 2 weeks prior to administration of study drugs, throughout the study and for 2 weeks after discontinuation of all study medications. Should a female subject of childbearing potential decide to become sexually active during the course of the study, she must be counselled and be willing to use one of the methods listed below: * Double barrier contraception (male condom/spermicide, male condom/diaphragm, diaphragm/spermicide) * Any intrauterine device (IUD) with published data showing that the expected failure rate is less than 1% per year (not all IUDs meet this criterion) * Any other method with published data showing that the lowest expected failure rate for that method is less than 1% per year. All subjects participating in this study should be counselled on the practice of safe/safer sex. * Parent or legal guardian (and subject whenever possible) has the ability to understand and provide written informed consent for the subject to participate in the trial. Verbal witnessed assent must be obtained from the subject whenever possible. * Screening plasma HIV-1 RNA \> or =400copies/mL. * Subject's who, in the investigator's opinion, and following resistance testing where appropriate, are able to construct an active NRTI backbone regimen consisting of 2 NRTIs. * Subjects must meet one of the following criteria: * ART-naïve subjects are defined as having had \< 4 weeks (28 days) therapy with an NRTI, no previous therapy with an NNRTI and \< 1 week therapy with an HIV PI. * ART-experienced subjects are defined as having had greater than 4 weeks (28 days) therapy with any NRTI(s) and any length of therapy with any NNRTI(s) and/or a PI. PI-experienced subjects will be eligible if they have previously been treated with \< three PIs, excluding AGENERASE. Prior therapy with a RTV boosted PI regimen will be considered as only 1 prior PI as long as the RTV dose was below that recommended for use of RTV as an antiretroviral agent. This specific criterion is not applicable to subjects in screening and/or enrolling after approval of Amendment No. 4. - For subjects screening and/or enrolling after the approval of Amendment No.4, PI naive subjects are defined as ART experienced subjects having less than one week of therapy with a PI and no prior experience with AGENERASE. Prior treatment with NNRTIs and NRTIs is permitted (however, subjects will NOT be permitted to receive concurrent NNRTI therapy while participating in this study) *

Exclusion criteria

Change from Baseline was defined as the HIV-1 RNA level at Weeks 12, 24, 48, 96, and 168 minus the HIV-1 RNA level at Baseline.
Median Change From Baseline in CD4+ Values at Week 12, 48, 96, and 168 VisitsBaseline and Weeks 12, 48, 96, and 168A blood sample was drawn to determine the CD4+ cell count at Weeks 24, 48, 96, and 168. Change from Baseline was defined as the CD4+ cell count at Weeks 24, 48, 96, and 168 minus the CD4+ cell count at Baseline.
Number of Participants With APV Resistance Associated HIV-1 RNA Genotypic Mutations and Phenotypic Resistance at Time of Virologic Failure Not Present at BaselineTime of virologic failureA blood sample was drawn for participants failing to respond to therapy, and the mutations present in the virus were identified. For each participant, the mutations found at the time of failure were compared with any mutations found in the blood sample at baseline. New mutations that developed at the time of virologic failure were tabulated by drug class. Virologic failure is defined as HIV-1 RNA greater than or equal to 400 copies/mL.
Percentage of Participants With HIV-1 RNA <400 Copies Per mL at Weeks 12, 48, 96, and 168 (Time to Loss of Virologic Response [TLOVR] Analysis)Weeks 12, 48, 96, and 168A blood sample was drawn to determine the amount of HIV-1 RNA virus in copies per milliliter (mL) at Weeks 12, 48, 96, and 196. The percentage of participants with HIV-1 RNA \<400 copies/mL at Weeks 12, 48, 96, 168 was determined by the TLOVR algorithm with stratification by the six randomization strata. TLOVR analysis categorizes participants by treatment response. Responders were participants with confirmed viral load \<400copies/mL on two consecutive visits.

Number of Participants With APV Resistance Associated HIV-1 RNA Genotypic Mutations and Phenotypic Resistance at Time of Virologic Failure Not Present at Baseline

A blood sample was drawn for participants failing to respond to therapy, and the mutations present in the virus were identified. For each participant, the mutations found at the time of failure were compared with any mutations found in the blood sample at baseline. New mutations that developed at the time of virologic failure were tabulated by drug class. Virologic failure is defined as HIV-1 RNA greater than or equal to 400 copies/mL.

Time frame: Time of virologic failure

Population: Participants in the ITT-E Population who met the virologic failure definition. Results are stratified by previous PI experience. Participants with previous PI experience may respond differently to FPV.

Percentage of Participants With HIV-1 RNA <400 Copies Per mL at Weeks 12, 48, 96, and 168 (Time to Loss of Virologic Response [TLOVR] Analysis)

A blood sample was drawn to determine the amount of HIV-1 RNA virus in copies per milliliter (mL) at Weeks 12, 48, 96, and 196. The percentage of participants with HIV-1 RNA \<400 copies/mL at Weeks 12, 48, 96, 168 was determined by the TLOVR algorithm with stratification by the six randomization strata. TLOVR analysis categorizes participants by treatment response. Responders were participants with confirmed viral load \<400copies/mL on two consecutive visits.

Time frame: Weeks 12, 48, 96, and 168

Population: The Intent-to-Treat Exposed (ITT \[E\]) Population consisted of all subjects with documented evidence of having received at least one dose of study drug. Results are stratified by previous protease inhibitor (PI) experience. Participants with previous PI experience may respond differently to FPV.
