Participants will receive enfuvirtide 90 milligram (mg) twice daily (b.i.d.) and OB as per investigator's discretion for 28 weeks during induction period. After induction period participants not meeting the randomization criteria will receive enfuvirtide 90 mg b.i.d and OB for next 24 weeks (up to Week 52).
