Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) has improved the long time survival of HIV infected individuals. However an increasing number of HIV-patients have developed metabolic and morphological alterations including peripheral lipoatrophy.

The main hypothesis of the study is that switching from thymidine-analogue based HAART will reverse lipoatrophy.

We plan to perform an observational study recruiting up to 100 HIV-infected patients receiving Trizivir (zidovudine/lamivudine/abacavir).

The patients will be offered an NRTI or lopinavir/ritonavir instead of zidovudine or they can choose to continue with Trizivir.

The main endpoint is changes in peripheral fat mass as determined by DEXA-scanning.
