Stanford University School of Medicine 300 Pasteur Drive Stanford, CA 94305Brief
Currently, treatment guidelines recommend the use of at least two active anti-HIV drugs (drugs that your HIV is not resistant to). Because the virus you are infected withis resistant to many of the currently approved drugs, this study will include new types of drugs. We hope that one of these new combinations of anti-HIV drugs will be able to lover your viral load.

NOTE: The selection must be reviewed and approved in writing by the site investigator. The investigator must also provide rationale for the selection.

EfficacyPrimary Outcomes:
- To compare treatment success (defined as the probibility of not experiencing virologic failure or discontinuation of NRTI strategy by week 48) between subjects taking a new regimen of more than two active agents (defined by a cPSS > 2.0) that includes versus excluded NRTIs
Secondary Outcomes:
- To evaluate the association of covariates that summarize the relative potency of the study regimen (e.g., cPSS, number and/or type of new agents, number and/or type of new drug classes), to success of therapy in the randomized and observational arms
- To determine whether regimens with cPSS >2.0 lead to suppression of plasma HIV-1 RNA to < 50 copies /ml in 75% of subjects at week 48
- to evaluate the toxicity and tolerablity (including immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome) of the antiretroviral treatment (i.e, NRTI and cPSS-guided components of the regimens)
- To compare time to virologic failure between subjects taking a new regimen of more than two active agents (defined by a cPSS >2.0) that include versus excludes NRTIs; to compare time to virologic failure in all subjects including observational arm
- To Evaluate the proportion of stubects in all rarms who aciever a plasma HIV-1 RNA level < 50 copies/ml at weeks 24 and 48
- To evaluate the virologic response to 2 vs. 3 'new' or active agents by comparison of the resonse in subjects with 2 vs. 3 panel agents for those receiving NRTIs (arms a and c)
- To evaluate the antiretroviral potency of regimens in treatment-experienced subjects using the week 1 change from baseline in plasma HIV-1 RNA. The change in plasm HIV-1 at week will serve as an estimater of the phse-1 viral decay
