Brief summary

This study evaluated the blood levels of atazanavir according to a genetic makeup for CYP3A5 (cytochrome P450 3A5, an enzyme that metabolizes atazanavir). The hypothesis was that people with a slow-metabolizing genotype would have higher blood levels of atazanavir compared to people with the normal metabolizing genotype.

Interventions

Inclusion criteria

* Age 18 to 55 years * Negative HIV screening antibody test * CYP3A5 expressor status, race, and sex fit an enrollment opening.

Exclusion criteria

* Pregnant or breast-feeding * Medical history of * hepatitis B or C, * autoimmune disease, * active malignancy, * kidney disease including nephrolithiasis * Organ dysfunction manifested by * liver transaminases or * serum creatinine \>1.25 times the upper limit of normal, or * any comprehensive metabolic test (except asymptomatic unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia), blood count, or lipid value \> Grade I according to Division of AIDS (DAIDS) adverse drug event grading system (appendix). * Medical history of arrhythmias (including atrial fibrillation, atrioventricular block, and/or pacemaker) * Any QT interval abnormalities or other congenital arrhythmia syndromes on ECG or * Any ECG abnormality that in the opinion of the investigators would preclude entry into the study. * Medical history of any serious heart condition including: * congestive heart failure, * myopathies, * coronary artery disease, or * unexplained syncope. * Medical history of bleeding disorders (i.e., hemophilia) * Hyperlipidemia * Any prescription, herbal, recreational, or over-the-counter medication contraindicated with ritonavir or atazanavir including: * substrates/inhibitors/inducers of CYP3A/P-gp, * cardio-active medication, or * medications that alter the acid in the stomach. The study investigators will review each concurrent medication on a case-by-case basis. * Inability to refrain from grapefruit or grapefruit juice during the study. * Investigational drugs within the last 30 days. * Active alcohol / recreational drug abuse, * Inability to give informed consent. * A body mass index below 18.5 or above 34.
