Detailed Description:

Infections with fungi and yeast frequently occur in patients infected with the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1).

Fosamprenavir is a PI that is used to treat HIV-infection in combination with ritonavir. Once hydrolyzed to amprenavir, this substance is a substrate for CYP3A4. Ritonavir is an extremely potent inhibitor of CYP3A4 and serves as a booster of the pharmacokinetics of amprenavir. Posaconazole is a very potent CYP3A4 inhibitor and therefore might enhance amprenavir pharmacokinetics in a similar way as ritonavir.

The current study is designed to test this hypothesis. When there is an indication for antifungal therapy in an HIV-infected patient, temporal replacement of ritonavir by posaconazole would be an attractive option for combined treatment of HIV and fungal infection.
