Criteria of the Division of AIDS for grading the severity of adult and pediatric adverse events as follows: Grade (Gr) 1=mild; Gr 2=moderate; Gr 3=severe; Gr 4=potentially life-threatening.

Alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase: Gr 1=1.25-2.5\*upper limit of normal (ULN); Gr 2=2.6-5.0\*ULN; Gr 3=5.1-10.0\*ULN; Gr 4= \>10.0\*ULN. Bilirubin, total (adults and infants \>14 days): Gr 1=1.1-1.5\*ULN; Gr 2=1.6-2.5\*ULN; Gr 3=2.6-5.0\*ULN; Gr 4= \>5.0\*ULN.

Number of Participants Who Died and With Adverse Events (AEs) Leading to Discontinuation, Hyperbilirubinemia, Jaundice, First-degree Arterioventricular Block, Tachycardia, and Rash on ATV PowderDay one to week 300 (approximately 22-Jan-2018)

AE=any new unfavorable symptom, sign, or disease or worsening of a preexisting condition that may not have a causal relationship with treatment.

Number of Participants Who Experienced a SAE on ATV PowderDay one to week 300 (approximately 22-Jan-2018)

SAE= any of the the following: is life-threatening (defined as an event in which the subject was at risk of death at the time of the event; it does not refer to an event which hypothetically might have caused death if it were more severe), requires inpatient hospitalization or causes prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect, is an important medical event (defined as a medical event(s) that may not be immediately life threatening or result in death or hospitalization but, based upon appropriate medical and scientific judgment, may jeopardize the subject or may require intervention \[eg, medical, surgical\] to prevent one of the other serious outcomes listed in the definition above.) Examples of such events include, but are not limited to, intensive treatment in an emergency room or at home for allergic bronchospasm; blood dyscrasias or convulsions that do not result in hospitalization

Number of Participants With A Center of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Class C AIDS Event on ATV PowderDay one to week 300 (approximately 22-Jan-2018)

The CDC disease staging system assesses the severity of HIV disease by CD4 cell counts and by the presence of specific HIV-related conditions. CD4 counts are classified as 1: ≥500 cells/µL, 2: 200-499 cells/µL, and 3: \<200 cells/µL. Children with HIV infection are also classified in each of several categories. Category N: Not symptomatic. Category A: Mildly symptomatic. Category B: Moderately symptomatic. Category C: Severely symptomatic.

Virologic success includes patients with HIV RNA \<50 copies/mL. Two cohorts were assessed: The Atazanavir Powder Cohort=patients who received treatment and did not switch to capsule before analysis Week 24 or before their HIV RNA Week 24 assessment, and the Eligible Week 48 Atazanavir Powder Cohort=patients who initiated study treatment at least 48 weeks before last person last visit and did not switch to capsule before analysis Week 48 or before their HIV RNA Week 48 assessment.

Minimum Plasma Concentration (Cmin)Baseline to Week 2

Number of Participants With Emergent Genotypic Substitutions on ATV Powder Through Week 48Baseline through Week 48

Newly emergent substitutions are on-treatment substitutions that were not detected at baseline.Viral rebound in the resistance analysis was defined as: Less than a 1 log10 drop from baseline in plasma HIV RNA level by Week 16, confirmed by a second plasma HIV RNA level redrawn within 2 and 4 weeks from original sample. Or, a plasma HIV RNA level \>200 c/mL after Week 24, confirmed by a second plasma HIV RNA level redrawn within 2 and 4 weeks from original sample. Or, repeated plasma HIV RNA level ≥50 c/mL after Week 48. Viral rebound was defined as a plasma HIV RNA level ≥400 c/mL at any time in a patient who had previously achieved a plasma HIV RNA level \<50 c/mL. Or, a plasma HIV RNA level ≥50 c/mL and \<1,000 c/mL followed by a return to virologic suppression was considered a viral blip and not a viral rebound. NRTI=nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor

Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax)Baseline to Week 2
