Conditions
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to determine the proportion of subjects with HIV-1 RNA \< 50 c/mL at Week 48 in patients who failed their first line therapy containing a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) or an integrase inhibitor

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Signed informed consent. * HIV-1 infected patients with viremia (VL ≥ 500/mL) on or after their first NNRTI or INI-based cART regimen and meeting one of the two criteria below:. i) On 1st line Non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) or Integrase inhibitor (INI)-based Combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) with HIV-1 RNA ≥ 500 c/ML after being on the same therapy for at least 12 weeks. ii) Off 1st line NNRTI or INI-based Combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) for at least 2 weeks after having been on antiviral therapy for at least 4 weeks and who are non-compliant and off first line cART without a history of virologic failure with resistance, with a : HIV-1 RNA ≥ 500 c/ML. * Fully sensitive genotype and phenotype report for Atazanavir/Ritonavir (clinical cut-off of 5.2) and Darunavir/Ritonavir (clinical cut-off ranging from 10 to 90). * At least one NRTI other than Lamivudine (3TC) or emtricitabine (FTC) with full sensitivity (one active NRTI) by genotype and phenotype, ie, PhenoSense Genotype (GT), report must provide a sensitive net assessment of susceptibility. An NRTI or PI (reported with or without ritonavir) with a partially sensitive net assessment will not be considered fully sensitive. * Mentally able to participate in the study. * Men and women ≥ 18 years old. * Women of child bearing potential who engage in vaginal intercourse and who are not clinically sterilized must use highly effective methods of birth control during the study.
Exclusion criteria
\- Screening HIV genotype showing presence at baseline of any of the following Protease inhibitor (PI) Mutation Patterns associated with genotypic resistance to Atazanavir sulfate/ Ritonavir or Darunavir/Ritonavir will lead to exclusion:. i) Subjects with any darunavir associated mutations\* at baseline (\*V11I, V32I, L33F, I47V, I50V, I54L, I54M, T74P, L76V, I84V and L89V). ii) Subjects with a major mutation to Atazanavir sulfate consisting of N88S. iii) Subjects with more than 3 of any of the following Atazanavir sulfate related mutations:D30N, M36I/V, M46I/L/T, I54V/L/T/M/A, A71V/T/I/G, G73S/A/C/T, V77I, V82A/F/T/S/I, I84V/A, N88D or L90M. \- Subjects with \< 1 fully active NRTI on PhenoSense report, other than lamivudine and emtricitabine. * Diagnosed with active tuberculosis. * Chronic hepatitis B infection. * Hepatitis C-positive patients who are not clinically stable or need treatment during the study period. * Acute hepatitis in the 30 days prior to study entry. * Any gastrointestinal disease or surgical procedure that may impact the absorption of study drug. * Intractable diarrhea within 30 days prior to study entry. * Presence of a newly diagnosed Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-related opportunistic infection or any medical condition requiring acute therapy at the time of enrollment. * Subject's with Cushing's syndrome. * Untreated hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism. * Recent therapy with agents with significant systemic myelosuppressive, neurotoxic, pancreatotoxic, hepatotoxic or cytotoxic potential within 3 months of study start. * Subject's with obstructive liver disease. * Active alcohol or illegal substance use. * Inability to swallow capsules. * Active peripheral neuropathy. * Presence of cardiomypathy or any significant cardiovascular disease. * Known, clinically significant cardiac conduction system disease. * Physical and Laboratory Test Findings:. i) Moderate to severe hepatic insufficiency. ii) Screening laboratory values as follows:. A. T4 \< 4mcg/dL or \>11mcg/dL and/or Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) \<0.5mU/L or \>5.0mU/L. B. Calculated creatinine clearance \< 60 cc/min. C. Hemoglobin \< 8.0 g/dL. D. Total serum lipase ≥ 1.4 times the upper limit of normal (ULN). E. Liver enzymes \[Aspartate transaminase (AST), Alanine transaminase (ALT)\] ≥ 5 times the ULN. F. Alkaline phosphatase \> 5 times the ULN. G. Platelets \< 50,000 cells/mm3. H. Positive blood screen for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg). I.
