Purpose

This is a pilot that will evaluate two regimens for treating HIV infected patients that haven't been on treatment before. HIV/AIDS patients may have an increased risk of myocardial infarction and antiretroviral therapy used may contribute to this. We will evaluate virological, immunological and cardiovascular effects of two HIV treatment regimens.

Arms	Assigned Interventions
Active Comparator: Raltegravir Raltegravir in combination with truvada (tenofovir and emtricitabine)	Drug: Raltegravir and truvada Raltegravir 400 mg po bid, truvada 1 tab q daily Other Name: Truvada is tenofovir 300 mg and emtricitabine 200 mg
Active Comparator: Atazanavir Atazanavir, low dose ritonavir, and truvada (tenofovir and emtricitabine)	Drug: Atazanavir, Norvir and Truvada Atazanavir 300 mg po q daily, Norvir 100 mg po q daily and Truvada 1 tablet po q daily Other Name: Truvada is tenofovir 300 mg and emtricitabine 200 mg

Detailed Description:

We will check blood studies used to evaluate HIV patients response to therapy including CD4 count and HIV viral load test. We will check routine safety labs done on HIV patients and also check homocysteine levels and creatine kinase level. We will evaluate homocysteine and IL6 levels at baseline, week 48, and week 96.
