Inclusion Criteria:

  • HIV-1 infected

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Taking any antiretroviral medication within 24 weeks prior to study entry
  • Evidence of certain HIV-1 RT mutations within 90 days prior to study entry (version 1.0)
  • Evidence of certain HIV-1 RT mutations identified by standard bulk viral population genotypic resistance tests at any time prior to study entry, if available (version 2.0, 09/03/2009)
  • Treatment at any time, for any reason with nevirapine as a single agent OR addition of any part of the study regimen as a single agent to a failing regimen

  • Cancer requiring systemic chemotherapy
  • Known allergy/sensitivity to the study drugs or their formulations

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine if pregnancy-limited, short-term combination HIV treatment regimens -- which were used solely for the prevention of mother to child transmission of HIV and discontinued postpartum -- decreases the effectiveness of a standard initial regimen of anti-HIV drugs when subsequent treatment is needed.
Detailed Description
Stopping and restarting highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) is not generally recommended because it has the potential to allow drug-resistant HIV to emerge. However, to prevent mother-to-child transmission (MTCT), HIV infected women who are pregnant are temporarily put on HAART, even if HIV treatment is not indicated at the time. It is unknown if such short-term therapy affects the viral response to HAART later, when permanent therapy is clinically indicated. The purpose of this study is to determine if HAART taken to prevent MTCT during pregnancy has an effect on the ability of a standard initial regimen of HAART to suppress HIV viral load.> >> > >> Study follow-up will last for 48 weeks per participant. Participants will take a daily regimen of efavirenz and emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate. There will be 8 clinical visits in this study; visits will occur at baseline and at Weeks 2, 4, 8, 16, 24, 36, and 48. At each visit, a physical exam, blood and urine collection, and pregnancy tests will occur. At some visits, adherence, quality-of-life, and birth control interviews will be completed.> >> > >> Enrollment in this study will last until 47 participants have joined or until December 31, 2009, whichever comes later.
