Purpose
The trial will evaluate the pharmacokinetics, safety, efficacy and acceptability of twice- and once-daily dosing of lopinavir/ritonavir tablets (Kaletra) dosed by weight in HIV-1 infected children who are currently taking lopinavir/ritonavir as part of their combination antiretroviral therapy and who are currently achieving virological suppression (<50 copies/ml). Specifically:
- To confirm weight-based dosing recommendations by evaluating the pharmacokinetics of twice-daily lopinavir/ritonavir half strength formulation tablets dosed on body weight and comparing to historical adult and paediatric data of pharmacokinetics of lopinavir/ritonavir soft gel capsules and oral solution respectively (1, 2).
- To compare the pharmacokinetics of twice-daily lopinavir/ritonavir tablets with once-daily dosing in the same children.
- To evaluate whether once-daily dosing of lopinavir/ritonavir is comparable to twice-daily dosing in terms of virological suppression at 48 weeks. Adherence and acceptability will also be compared.

Exclusion Criteria:
- children on an antiretroviral regimen that includes a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI), fosamprenavir or nelfinavir
- children who have previously failed virologically on a protease inhibitor (PI) containing regimen (where virological failure is defined as two successive HIV-1 RNA results>1000 copies/ml (confirmed) more than 24 weeks after starting highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), i.e changes for toxicity are not counted as failure)
- acute illness
- abnormal renal or liver function (grade 3 or above)
- receiving concomitant therapy except for prophylaxis; Some treatments may be allowed, but must first be discussed with a trial medical expert
