Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: • Qualifying plasma HIV RNA > 2,000 c/mL and a CD4 cell count of 3 3 > 100 cells/mm (or > 75 cells/mm with no prior history of any AIDS-defining diagnoses) obtained within 2 weeks prior to randomization; • >16 years of age (or minimum age as determined by local regulatory or as legal requirements dictate); • Both females of child-bearing potential and males must utilize effective barrier contraception - other contraception in addition to barrier methods are permitted; • Subjects must be able to provide written informed consent; • Subjects should be available for follow-up for a period of at least 52 weeks; • Baseline laboratory values measured within 2 weeks prior to initiating study drugs as follows: o serum creatinine < 1.5 times the upper limit of normal, o total serum lipase < 1.4 times the upper limit of normal, o liver enzymes (AST, ALT) < 3 times the upper limit of normal, o total serum bilirubin < 1.5 times the upper limit of normal.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: • Prior antiretroviral therapy (30 days prior to screening); • Presence of a newly diagnosed HIV-related opportunistic infection or any medical condition requiring acute therapy at the time of enrollment; • Suspected primary (acute) HIV infection; • Proven or suspected acute hepatitis in the 30 days prior to study entry. Subjects with chronic hepatitis are eligible provided that their liver function enzymes are 6 loose stools/day for at least 7 consecutive days) within • 30 days prior to study entry; • Pregnancy or breast-feeding; • History of hemophilia; • History or signs and symptoms of bilateral peripheral neuropathy > Grade 2 at the time of screening; • Inability to tolerate oral medication; • Any other clinical conditions or prior therapy that, in the opinion of the Investigator, would make the subject unsuitable for study or unable to comply with the dosing requirements.
