A Non-interventional Cohort Study for the Assessment of the Efficacy of RALTEGRAVIR 400 mg Administered Twice Daily in Combination With Other Antiretroviral Drugs to Treat Infection With the Human Immunodeficiency Virus 1 (HIV-1) in Adults and Aging Patients (≥ 50 Years) Under Conditions That Are Representative of the Nationwide Treatment of HIV-positive Patients in Germany

Overview
Brief Summary
This is an observational, non-comparative, multicenter, open-label study. Participants will be treated with Raltegravir according to standard clinical practice, and monitored over a total period of 96 weeks. In an extension to the study (Amendment 1), a new cohort of aging participants (≥ 50 years) will be recruited and monitored over a total period of 48 weeks. Participants who stop taking Raltegravir before the end of the 96-week period or 48-week period, respectively, will be followed up for 3 months after discontinuing the drug. The primary objective is to determine the proportion of participants with a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 viral load < 50 copies/mL after 48 weeks of treatment with Raltegravir.

Arms & Interventions
Overall Participants
HIV-1 infected participants received raltegravir 400 mg tablet orally twice daily for 96 weeks (Initial Cohort), 144 weeks (Prolonged Cohort) or 48 weeks (Amendment Cohort) in combination with other antiretroviral drugs under conditions representative of standard of clinical practice for HIV-1 patients in Germany.
Intervention: Raltegravir
Aging Participants
HIV-1 infected participants received raltegravir 400 mg tablet orally twice daily for 144 weeks (Prolonged Cohort) or 48 weeks (Amendment Cohort) in combination with other antiretroviral drugs under conditions representative of standard of clinical practice for HIV-1 patients in Germany. Includes newly enrolled participants ≥ 50 years of age (Amendment Cohort), plus participants from the Initial Cohort who were ≥ 50 years of age at time of recruitment and who completed 48 weeks of treatment (Prolonged Cohort).
Intervention: Raltegravir
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes

Time Frame: Baseline and 48 weeks
The percentage of participants with an HIV-1 viral load \<50 copies/mL of HIV-1 RNA after 48 weeks of raltegravir treatment was determined.
Percentage of Aging Participants With an HIV-1 Viral Load <50 Copies/mL After 48 Weeks of Raltegravir Treatment
Time Frame: Baseline and 48 weeks
The percentage of aging participants (\>=50 years old at initiation of raltegravir treatment) with an HIV-1 viral load \<50 copies/mL of HIV-1 RNA after 48 weeks of raltegravir treatment was determined.
