HIV Infection | Drug: Raltegravir | Not Applicable |
A prospective, non-controlled, non-randomized, single center study of a treatment regimen of a protease inhibitor or a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor in combination with raltegravir in patients with HIV-1 infection who have been, and continue to be, fully controlled on a standard HAART regimen of a PI or an NNRTI plus 2 NRTIs, and the effect of the change in regimen on peripheral fat distribution.
This pilot study will contain 30 patients who will be followed over a period of one year starting from the date of the medication change from an NRTI-based regimen to a raltegravir-based NRTI-sparing regimen. Potential changes in fat distribution (fat content as assessed by fat volume) will be measured with serial MRI's of the thighs.

Drug: Raltegravir
- Determine if the substitution of raltegravir for 2 NRTI's in patients with evidence of peripheral lipoatrophy and who have sustained HIV virological suppression will result in evidence of an increased in volume of peripheral fat within one year. [ Time Frame: one year ]
- Determining whether the patients will continue to have sustained virological suppression upon switching to a raltegravir-based regimen. [ Time Frame: eighteen months ]
- Determining what, if any, adverse effects the patients may develop.. [ Time Frame: eighteen months ]
