Primary Outcome Measures:
- Raltegravir Male Genital Tract Concentration [ Time Frame: 8-10 hours after raltegravir dose ]
- Raltegravir Female Genital Tract Concentration [ Time Frame: 8-10 hours after raltegravir dose ]
- Male Paired Plasma Concentration [ Time Frame: 8-10 hours after raltegravir dose ]This sample was taken as close to the time of genital tract sample as possible
- Female Paired Plasma Concentration [ Time Frame: 8-10 hours after raltegravir dose ]This sample was taken as close to the time of genital tract sample as possible
- Male Time Since Last Dose [ Time Frame: 8-10 hours after raltegravir dose ]This measure describes the amount of time that expired between when the dose was administered and when the sample was taken
- Female Time Since Last Dose [ Time Frame: 8-10 hours after raltegravir dose ]This measure describes the amount of time that expired between when the dose was administered and when the sample was taken
- Male Genital Tract:Plasma Concentration Ratio [ Time Frame: 8-10 hours after raltegravir dose ]Units of raltegravir concentration for genital tract and plasma sample are ng/mL
- Female Genital Tract:Plasma Concentration Ratio [ Time Frame: 8-10 hours after raltegravir dose ]Units of raltegravir concentration for genital tract and plasma sample are ng/mL

Detailed Description:
Although we have many medications to fight the HIV virus, very little is known about how much of these medications get into the genital tract. Raltegravir is a new HIV medication that blocks HIV growth and lowers the amount of virus in the blood in a way that is different than all other currently available HIV medications. Raltegravir was recently approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in HIV infected patients, but there is very little information concerning how much raltegravir will reach the genital tract of men or women. The purpose of this research study is to determine how much raltegravir gets into the male and female genital tract.
