Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - raltegravir
Treatment: Drugs - 2N(t)RTI
Treatment: Drugs - Ritonavir-boosted lopinavir

Active comparator: Ritonavir-boosted lopinavir and 2N(t)RTI - This is the current standard of care for second line therapy following failure of standard first-line NNRTI+2N(t)RTIs according to WHO guidelines.

Experimental: Ritonavir-boosted lopinavir and raltegravir - This is an experimental arm which is likely to be fully active in the presence of N(t)RTI mutations and which preliminary evidence suggests should be potent and durable.


Treatment: Drugs: raltegravir
400 mg raltegravir tablet taken every 12 hours

Treatment: Drugs: 2N(t)RTI
2N(t)RTIs as prescribed

Treatment: Drugs: Ritonavir-boosted lopinavir
2 heat-stable tablets of ritonavir-boosted lopinavir taken every 12 hours
