Observational Study With Antiretroviral Treated Patients Switching to Nevirapine Plus Two Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitor (NRTI) Regimens
- Registration Number
- NCT02191319
- Lead Sponsor
- Boehringer Ingelheim
- Brief Summary
Collecting data on maintaining anti-retroviral activity (quantitative HIV RNA determination) and immunological activity (CD4 cells) after switching from protease inhibitor or NNRTI to Nevirapine (Viramune®) and collecting of routinely observed laboratory data on lipids, and liver enzymes.
