Measure
Atazanavir Switch
ARM A: Switch current PI to atazanavir 400 mg once daily plus current \> 2 nucleoside/nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) for 24 weeks. Subjects currently on ritonavir (RTV) (400 mg BID or greater) or RTV-boosted PI (\<400 mg/day) , or tenofovir (TDF) as backbone NRTI therapy, will switch to ATV 300 mg boosted with RTV 100mg once daily.
Control (Continue Protease Inhibitor)
ARM B: Continue current antiretroviral regimen (single or RTV-boosted PI plus \> 2 NRTIs) for 24 weeks
