Study Switching HIV-1 Infected Patients With an Undetectable Viral Load on a First Protease Inhibitor-Based Regimen to an Efavirenz-Based Regimen

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that virologically controlled HIV-infected individuals can successfully switch from a protease inhibitor (PI)-based regimen to an efavirenz-based regimen while maintaining virologic control, as evaluated by the proportion of subjects who continue to have plasma HIV-1 levels < 50 copies/mL. In addition, a simplified once-daily regimen will improve adherence and quality of life.
