Based on HIV-1 drug resistance genotypic test results at the Screening Visit and prior treatment history, the investigator considers lopinavir/ritonavir plus at least two NRTIs to be an appropriate treatment for the subject. 

Subject does not require and agrees not to take any antiretroviral medication except lopinavir/ritonavir and NRTIs. 

Preferred Pl-based regimens are lopinavir/ritonavir plus lamivudine or emtricitabine plus another NRTI, usually zidovudine, stavudine or abacavir. Alternative combinations include other Pis with or without ritonavir, and two NRTIs. The combination of a protease inhibitor with ritonavir provides inhibition of cytochrome p450 enzymes and permits less frequent dosing of amprenavir, indinavir, lopinavir and saquinavir. Use of ritonavir in this setting is also known as boosting. ... 

Current UK guidelines give tenofovir as one of the preferred drugs as part of a dual NRTI regimen, to be used with either fosamprenavir/ritonavir or lopinavir/ritonavir, for the treatment of HIV infection in treatment...
