Summary
This study focuses on HIV-positive women who have received limited prior treatment, specifically with d4T and/or 3TC. The main goal is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a drug called Viracept when used in combination with antiretroviral therapy, which includes stavudine (d4T) and lamivudine (3TC). The study is particularly interested in women with a CD4 count of less than or equal to 400 cells/mm3. The potential outcomes of this study could offer a new treatment option for HIV-positive women, addressing the ongoing need for effective HIV management strategies. During this study, participants receive a combination of Viracept, d4T, and 3TC. The study examines how the body responds to this combination, including how it processes Viracept when given with d4T and 3TC. This helps researchers understand the safety and effectiveness of this treatment approach. As with any medical study, there may be potential risks and benefits associated with participation.
