Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Main Objective: The primary objective of this study is to compare the virological efficacy of the two strategies as measured by the proportion of patients with HIV RNA <200 copies/mL 48 weeks after randomisation. ;Primary end point(s): To compare the virological efficacy of the two regimens as measured by the proportion of participants with HIV RNA <200 copies/mL 48-weeks and 96 weeks after randomisation in the intention-to-treat (ITT) population.;Secondary Objective: A number of secondary outcomes will be assessed which are of relevance and interest in the assessment of the performance of the two study treatment regimens. These will include (but will not necessarily be limited to) virological, immunological, safety and antiretroviral treatment change.<br><br>In addition some exploratory objectives will also be examined including clinical, metabolic, anthropometric, medication adherence and quality of life.<br>
