    • HIV DNA polymerase chain reaction
    • HIV RNA with values ≥1,000 copies/mL
    • Positive HIV enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay at ≥18 months of age, with confirmatory Western blot or indirect immunoflourescence antibody

For the purposes of this study, participants exposed to ARVs in utero or intrapartum may be included in the study but will be considered treatment naive. ATV-naive participants must have genotypic sensitivity at screening to ATV (fold change in susceptibility <2.2) and to both components of the local NRTI backbone. The NRTIs must have been approved for pediatric use at the local country level.

  • One of the following cardiac rhythm abnormalities documented on screening electrocardiogram: 1st degree atrioventricular (AV) block as defined by protocol, type I 2nd degree AV block while awake, type II 2nd degree AV block at any time, complete AV block at any time, or age-adjusted heart rate <2nd percentile) History of pancreatitis, peripheral neuropathy, malignancy that requires systemic therapy, or any medical condition which, in the opinion of the investigator, added undue risk to trial participation
  • Malabsorption syndrome
  • Presence of a newly diagnosed HIV-related opportunistic infection or any medical condition requiring acute therapy at the time of enrollment
  • Weight <5 or ≥25 kg at date of first dose (Day 1).
  • >Grade 2 aspartate transaminase or alanine transaminase abnormalities
  • Hypersensitivity to any component of the study medication formulations (ATV/RTV, or a locally prescribed NRTI with a pediatric indication)
  • Infants and children of either gender <3 months or ≥5 years and 6 months at the time of first treatment.
