| Official Title: | A Multicenter, Open-Label, 24-Week Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Indinavir Sulfate 800 Mg and Ritonavir 200 Mg b.i.d. Plus 2 NRTIs b.i.d. in HIV-1 Infected Individuals Who Require Early Treatment Intervention |

| Estimated Enrollment: | 100 |
Patients receive indinavir bid plus ritonavir bid, plus 2 NRTIs bid (2 new NRTIs or 1 new NRTI and 1 NRTI without evidence of resistance). CD4 cell counts and plasma viral RNA are measured every 4 weeks for the duration of the study. Physical examination and laboratory tests of blood and urine are performed every 4 weeks for the duration of the study. Chest x-ray and 12-lead ECG are done prestudy.

Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
Patients may be eligible for this study if they:
- Are HIV-positive.
- Are 18 years of age or older.
- Have a CD4 cell count of at least 50 cells/mm3.
- Have a viral load (level of HIV in the blood) of at least 400 copies/ml but no more than 20,000 copies/ml.
- Have had an initial response to protease inhibitor therapy with a viral load of less than 400 copies/ml in two consecutive tests at least 1 week apart.
- Have been on anti-HIV (antiretroviral) treatment including indinavir or nelfinavir for at least 16 weeks.
- Have had virologic failure (two consecutive viral loads that were greater than or equal to 400 copies/ml and less than or equal to 20,000 copies/ml at least 1 week apart) that is not due to another infection, vaccination, or a temporary stop in treatment.
- Are naive to at least one of the selected NRTIs.
