Key inclusion & exclusion criteria

Inclusion Criteria:Inclusion Criteria (Objective 1)

1. HIV infected adults

2. Antiretroviral naïve

3. Viral load >1000 copies/ml

4. Initiating combination antiretroviral therapy, which includes nevirapine.

Exclusion Criteria (Objective 1)

1. Women with CD4 counts > 250/mm3

Inclusion Criteria (Objective 2)

1. HIV infected adults

2. On their initial ARV combination which contains nevirapine

3. HIV RNA < 50 copies/ml

4. Decision to discontinue ARV therapy at the completion of pregnancy or for a drug
holiday

5. Not resistant to nevirapine.

Note that since most patients meeting the criteria for Objective 1 are expected to achieve
HIV RNA < 50 copies/mL, the patient populations for Objectives 1 and 2 will be almost the
same.
