1. HIV-1-infected, clinically stable with no AIDS-defining events
2. Adults, aged NLT 18 years and NMT 65 years
3. Sexually active men with partners of childbearing potential and women of childbearing potential (WOBCP; defined as a woman biologically capable of becoming pregnant; includes women who are using contraceptives or whose sexual partners are either sterile or using contraceptives) must agree to use an acceptable form of contraception (as defined in the protocol) during participation in the study and for 30 days after the last dose of test drug.
4. Plasma HIV-1 RNA levels NLT 2,000 and NMT 150,000 copies/mL at screening (Amplicor HIV-1 Monitor Test, version 1.5, Roche Diagnostic)
5. Genotypically documented M184V variant as assessed by a Trugene HIV-1 kit
6. Positive HIV-1 genotype for K103N if currently receiving Efavirenz or Nevirapine
7. Receiving a stable antiretroviral regimen (defined as no change in antiretroviral therapy for at least 4 weeks prior to randomization) that includes lamivudine or emtricitabine
8. CD4 count of NLT 100 cells/mL
9. Acceptable hematologic and chemistry parameters as follows:
- Hemoglobin NLT 11 g/dL
- Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) NLT 2000 cells/mm3
- Platelets NLT 100,000 cells/mm3
- Alanine transaminase (ALT)/ aspartate transaminase (AST) NMT 1.5 times the upper normal limit (UNL)

Number of subjects for this age range:
F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes
F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range
F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) no
F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range

7. Evidence or history of cirrhosis
8. Recent (within 3 months of screening) history of alcohol abuse, physical dependence to any opioid, cocaine, LSD or amphetamines, or history of drug addiction
9. Inability to tolerate oral medication
10. Woman who are pregnant or breastfeeding
11. Abnormal renal function, defined as serum creatinine NLT 1.0 ULN or calculated creatinine clearance NMT 60 mL/min using the Cockcroft-Gault formula, as summarized in the protocol
12. Any clinical condition or prior therapy that, in the investigator’s opinion, would make them unsuitable for the study or unable to comply with the dosing requirements
13. Participated in a clinical study involving administration of an investigational drug (new chemical entity), or a marketed drug within the past 30 days of Study Day 1
14. Subjects who have a history of hypersensitivity to elvucitabine or any of its components, or to lamivudine or any of its components
