You may be eligible if
HIV-1 RNA ≥ 5000 copies/mL by Roche Amplicor 1.5v Primer
More than 18 years of age
Provide written informed consent and willingness to participate in and comply
Less than 7 days of prior ART with any licensed or investigational compound
Does not currently have or has not been treated for an active opportunistic infection (OI) within 30 days of screening
Vital signs, physical examination and laboratory results do not exhibit evidence of acute illness
A female who is a non-childbearing potentiator or if in child-bearing potential, has a negative serum pregnancy test at screen and agrees to one of the following: complete abstinence from intercourse from 2 weeks prior to administration of the study drug, throughout the study, and for at least 2 weeks after completion or premature discontinuation from the study to account for elimination of the investigational drug. Should a patient decide to become sexually active during the course of the study, she must be counseled and be willing to use one of the birth control methods like double barrier method, intrauterine device, sterilization and any other methods.
NOTE: Data are insufficient to exclude a clinically important interaction of LPV/r with drugs, such as hormonal contraceptives, that are highly metabolized by the cytochrome P450 enzyme system. As a result, hormonal contraception is not considered adequate.
You may not be if
