Inclusion Criteria
  • Confirmed human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 infection diagnosed by a positive virologic test result on 2 separate occasions by:

    • HIV DNA polymerase chain reaction
    • HIV RNA with values ≥1,000 copies/mL
    • Positive HIV enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay at ≥18 months of age, with confirmatory Western blot or indirect immunoflourescence antibody
  • Infants and children of either sex, aged ≥3 months to <5 years and 6 months at time of first treatment, and weight >5 to <25 kg with any screening baseline plasma viral load

  • Screening plasma viral load ≥1,000 copies/mL by Roche Amplicor® HIV RNA Assay

  • Documented genotypic and phenotypic sensitivity at screening to ATV (fold change in susceptibility <2.2) and to at least 2 nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) approved in the infant's country

  • Genotypic sensitivity at screening to atazanavir (ATV) and at least 2 NRTIs

  • Antiretroviral (ARV) treatment-naive or ARV treatment-experienced. Treatment-experienced participants are defined by previous exposure to ARVs through either prior treatment for HIV infection or through postnatal treatment with ≥1 ARV for the prevention of mother to child transmission. For the purposes of this study, participants exposed to ARVs in utero or intrapartum may be included in the study but will be considered treatment naive. ATV-naive participants must have genotypic sensitivity at screening to ATV (fold change in susceptibility <2.2) and to both components of the local NRTI backbone. The NRTIs must have been approved for pediatric use at the local country level.
