Primary Outcome Measures:
  • To compare the safety and efficacy of low-dose versus standard dose lopinavir/ritonavir containing HAART regimen in virological suppress, HIV RNA viral load < 50 copies/ml at 48 week [ Time Frame: 48 week ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    proportion of patient who had HIV RNA < 50 copies/ml Safety issue: patient who had HIV RNA > 50 copies/ml during the study period will be checked for LPV blood level, if the LPV Cmin < 1 ug/ml. The dose of LPV/r will be adjusted to appropriate dose.


Estimated Enrollment: 240
Study Start Date: March 2011
Estimated Study Completion Date: June 2013
Estimated Primary Completion Date: March 2013 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Arms Assigned Interventions
Active Comparator: standard dose
Arm 1:LPV/r Standard dose BW 25-35 kg 300/75 mg BW >35-50 kg 400/100 mg
 Drug: kaletra

The study participants will receive Lopinavir/ritonavir heat-stable tablet (100/25 mg or 200/50 mg) q 12 hour plus NRTIs. The other NRTIs is depend on physician discretion.

Arm 1:LPV/r Standard dose Arm 2:Low dose BW 25-35 kg 300/75 mg 200/50 mg BW >35-50 kg 400/100 mg 300/75 mg
Experimental: low dose
Arm 2:Low dose BW 25-35 kg 200/50 mg BW >35-50 kg 300/75 mg
 Drug: kaletra

The study participants will receive Lopinavir/ritonavir heat-stable tablet (100/25 mg or 200/50 mg) q 12 hour plus NRTIs. The other NRTIs is depend on physician discretion.
