The percentage of participants with HIV-1 RNA <400 copies/mL at Weeks 48 and 96 were tabulated by treatment arm in participants with baseline HIV-1 RNA >=100,000 copies/mL.
- Median Change From Baseline in HIV-1 RNA at Week 48 and 96 [ Time Frame: Weeks 48 and 96 ]A blood sample was drawn to determine the amount of HIV-1 RNA virus in copies/mL at Weeks 48 and 96. Change from baseline was defined as HIV-1 RNA level at Weeks 48 and 96 minus HIV-1 RNA level at baseline.
- Median Change From Baseline in CD4+ Cells at Weeks 48 and 96 [ Time Frame: Weeks 48 and 96 ]A blood sample was drawn to determine the CD4+ cell count at Weeks 48 and 96. Change from baseline was defined as CD4+ cell count at week 96 minus CD4+ cell count at baseline.
- Number of Participants Who Meet the Protocol-defined Virologic Failure (PDVF) Criteria at Week 96 [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 96 ]The number of participants that failed to respond to therapy based on the protocol definition of virologic failure (PDVF) was tabulated. PDVF was defined as either no confirmed HIV-1 RNA <200 copies/mL or HIV-1 RNA rebound >= 200 copies/mL on two consecutive occasions.
- Number of Confirmed Virologic Failure Participants Who Had Treatment-emergent Genotypic Resistance Through 96 Weeks [ Time Frame: Baseline and time of virologic failure (up to Week 96) ]A blood sample was drawn for participants failing to respond to therapy and the mutations present in the virus were identified. For each participant, the mutations found at the time of failure were compared with any mutations found in the blood sample at baseline. New mutations that developed at the time of failure was tabulated by drug class. NRTI, nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor; NNRTI, non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor; PI, protease inhibitor.
- Number of Confirmed Virologic Failure Participants at Week 96 With Genotypic Resistance to Lamivudine (3TC) and Emtricitabine (FTC) and Had Phenotypic Reduced Susceptibility [ Time Frame: Baseline and time of virologic failure (up to Week 96) ]A blood sample was drawn for participants failing to respond to therapy and the mutations present in the virus were identified. New mutations that developed to the NRTI class at the time of failure that no longer responded to lamivudine or emtricitabine were tabulated by drug class.
- Number of Participants Who Reported a Suspected Abacavir Hypersensitivity Reaction (ABC HSR) Reaction or Proximal Renal Tubule Dysfunction [ Time Frame: Baseline through 96 weeks ]The number of participants that experienced symptoms of a suspected abacavir hypersensitivity reaction was tabulated. The number of participants that developed laboratory signs of proximal renal tubule dysfunction was tabulated.
