Inclusion Criteria

1.Be at least 18 years of age on the day of signing the informed consent.
2.Understand the study procedures and voluntarily agree to participate by giving written informed consent (or have a legal representative provide written informed consent, if considered acceptable by local regulatory agencies and/or ERCs/IRBs) for the trial. The subject or his/her legal representative (if considered acceptable by local regulatory agencies and/or ERCs/IRBs) may also provide consent for Future Biomedical Research. However, the subject may participate in the main trial without participating in Future Biomedical Research
3.Be HIV-1 positive as determined by a positive result on an enzyme-immunoassay, have screening plasma HIV-1 RNA (determined by the central laboratory) = 1000 copies/mL within 30 days prior to the treatment phase of this study, and have HIV treatment indicated based on physician assessment. Local treatment guidelines should be considered in the decision to initiate therapy.
4.Have a screening CD4 cell count =100 cells/mm3 (completed by the central laboratory) within 30 days prior to the treatment phase of this study.
5.Be naïve to antiretroviral therapy (ART) including investigational antiretroviral agents.
6.Within one year prior to screening, have had a genotype performed confirming the presence of one and only one of the following NNRTI mutations: K103N, Y181C, G190A.
7.Have the following laboratory values during the screening period of the trial: Alkaline phosphatase = 3.0 x upper limit of normal; AST (SGOT) and ALT (SGPT) = 5.0 x upper limit of normal; Hg = 9.0 g/dl (if female) or = 10.0 g/dl (if male); have calculated creatinine clearance at the time of screening = 50 mL/min.
8. Be clinically stable with no signs or symptoms of active infection at the time of entry into the study.
9.Be highly unlikely to become pregnant or to impregnate a partner.

2.Is, at the time of signing informed consent, a user of recreational or illicit drugs or has had a recent history of drug or alcohol abuse or dependence. The nature and potential clinical context of the subject’s illicit drug use, in relation to their exclusion from this trial, will be at the discretion of the Investigator.
3.Has been treated for a viral infection other than HIV-1, such as hepatitis B, with an agent that is active against HIV-1, including, but not limited to, adefovir, tenofovir, entecavir, emtricitabine, or lamivudine.
4.Has documented or known resistance to study drugs (MK-1439, lamivudine, and/or tenofovir) as defined below:
a)Resistance to MK-1439 for the purpose of this study is considered to include mutant viruses containing any of the following NNRTI-associated mutations: L1001, K101E, K101P, K103S, V106A, V106I, V106M, V108I, E138K, E138A, E138G, E138O, E138R, V179L, Y181I, Y181V, Y188C, Y188H, Y188L, G190S, H221Y, P225H, F227C, F227V, F227L, M230I and M230L.
b)Any double or triple NNRTI mutation that includes mutations from the above in combination with K103N, Y181C, or G190A.
c)Resistance to lamivudine or tenofovir for the purpose of this study is considered to include following NRTI-associated mutations: M41L, A62V, K65R, D67N, K70E, K70R, L74V, V75I, F77L, Y115F, F116Y, Q151M, M184I, M184V, L210W. T215F, T215Y, K219E, and K219Q as well as the T69S insertion complex.
5.Has participated in a study with an investigational compound/device within 30 days prior to signing informed consent or anticipates participating in such a during the course of the study.
6.Has any medical condition requiring, or likely to require, chronic systemic administration of corticosteroids, TNF antagonists, or other immunosuppressant drugs during the course of the trial.
7.Requires or is anticipated to require any of the prohibited medications noted in the protocol
8.Has significant hypersensitivity or other contraindication to any of the components of the study drug as determined by the investigator.
9.Has a current (active) diagnosis of acute hepatitis due to any cause.
