Measure
Raltegravir Group
The raltegravir dosing will be 400mg twice daily by mouth. Subjects will continue all of their regular medications throughout the protocol.
No Augmented Treatment Then Optional Rollover
Subjects randomized not to receive augmented treatment will continue in the study with their regular antiretroviral regimen. After 12 weeks, subjects in this group have the option to rollover into the raltegravir group for 12 weeks.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: three months (Rollover subjects were assessed for a second baseline after the initial 12 week period)

Population: One subject in the raltegravir group was censored when a pharmacological study showed no drug in either plasma (n=9) or CSF. Six subjects randomized to no drug later rolled over to receive raltegravir. Primary analysis treated the rollover subjects as independent and compared 14 intensified to 9 nonintensified subject experiences.
