A Clinical Trial Comparing the Efficacy of Darunavir/Ritonavir Monotherapy Versus a Triple Combination Therapy Containing Darunavir/Ritonavir and 2 Nucleoside/Nucleotide Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors in Patients With Undetectable Plasma HIV-1 RNA on Current Treatment

Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy, safety and tolerability of darunavir/ritonavir 800/100 mg monotherapy with a triple combination therapy containing darunavir/ritonavir 800/100 mg and 2 nucleoside/nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors (N\[t\]RTIs) in approximately 260 Human Immunodeficiency Virus-1 (HIV-1) infected patients who have been on Highly Active AntiRetroviral Therapy (HAART) medication and have a plasma Viral Load below 50 copies/mL for at least 48 weeks.
