5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This is an investigator-initiated, two-year, randomized, controlled, single-center, open-label, pilot study comparing 3-drug highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) to 3-drug HAART plus raltegravir for persons with acute and early HIV-1 infection. The study will test the hypothesis that use of the integrase inhibitor raltegravir (400 mg BID orally) to inhibit the integration step of the HIV-1 life cycle in conjunction with HAART in subjects with recently acquired HIV-1 infection will decrease the number of HIV-1 infected CD4+ T-cells to a greater extent than a 3-drug HAART regimen.
Detailed Description
The study will be conducted at the UW Primary Infection Clinic and the UW AIDS Clinical Trials Unit. Secondary objectives will characterize safety, tolerability, plasma HIV-1 RNA and CD4+ T-cell values. The 3-drug HAART will be chosen and provided by the subject.
