Exclusion Criteria
  1. Female subjects of reproductive potential who:

    • Have positive serum pregnancy test
    • Have not been using a barrier method of contraception for at least 3 months prior to participation in the study
    • Are not willing to use a reliable method of barrier contraception (such as diaphragm with spermicidal cream/jelly or condoms with spermicidal foam), during and 60 days after completion/termination of the trial
    • Are breast-feeding.
  2. Use of any pharmacological contraceptive (including oral, patch or injectable contraceptives) within 1 month prior to Day 1 and for the duration of the study.

    Due to long half-life, subjects using Depo-Provera® within six months prior to Day 1 will be excluded from participation in this study

  3. Use of hormone replacement therapy within 1 month prior to Day 1 and anytime during the study

  4. Participation in another trial with an investigational medicine within 2 months prior to Day 1 of this study

  5. Use of any medication listed in Appendix 10.5 within 30 days prior to Day 1 of this study

  6. Administration of antibiotics within 15 days prior to Day 1 and anytime during the study

  7. History of acute illness within 60 days prior to Day 1

    • Subjects will be excluded for acute illnesses that occurred more than 60 days prior to Day 1 if, in the opinion of the investigator, the subject does not qualify as a healthy volunteer
  8. Have serological evidence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) or hepatitis C virus (HCV)

  9. Have serological evidence of exposure to HIV

  10. Alcohol or substance abuse within 1 year prior to screening or during the study

  11. Blood or plasma donations within 30 days prior to Day 1 or during the study

  12. Subjects with a history of any illness or allergy that, in the opinion of the investigator, might confound the results of the study or pose additional risk in administering TPV, RTV or EFV to the subject

  13. History of a psychiatric disorder that required pharmacological or other psychological treatment

  14. Subjects who have taken (within 7 days prior to Day 1) any over-the-counter or prescription medication that, in the opinion of the investigator in consultation with the sponsor's clinical monitor, might interfere with absorption, distribution, or metabolism of the study medications

  15. Known hypersensitivity to sulphonamide class of drugs

  16. Known hypersensitivity to TPV, RTV, EFV or antiretroviral drugs (marketed or experimental use as part of clinical research studies)

  17. Known elevated liver enzymes in past trials with any compound

  18. Inability to adhere to the protocol

  19. Cautions or warnings in the RTV and EFV package insert which, in the opinion of the investigator, constitute grounds for subject exclusion
