Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to investigate the possibility of an association between changes in neurocognitive function, as measured by a computerised test battery, and the use of two different highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) regimens in treatment naïve HIV-1 infected subjects commencing antiretroviral therapy.
