Evaluation of Renal Function, Efficacy, and Safety When Switching From Tenofovir/Emtricitabine Plus a Protease Inhibitor/Ritonavir, to a Combination of Raltegravir (MK-0518) Plus Nevirapine Plus Lamivudine in HIV-1 Participants With Suppressed Viremia and Impaired Renal Function (MK-0518-284) - Full Text View
