Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this study is to determine if low bone mineral density (a measurement of how thick and strong bones are) improves in adults with HIV infection who switch their HIV medication tenofovir to another HIV medication raltegravir.

Hypothesis:That Bone Mineral Density (BMD) will improve in osteopenic or osteoporotic patients switching from ART including tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) and a ritonavir-boosted protease inhibitor (r/PI) to ART including RAL+r/PI.

Inclusion Criteria

1. provision of written, informed consent
2. HIV-infected adults at least 18 years of age
3. receiving stable ART including TDF and a r/PI for the previous 6 months
4. no prior PI genotypic resistance or known replication of HIV in patients receiving a PI
5. plasma HIV RNA \< 50 copies/ml for at least the previous 3 months
6. spine or neck of femur t-score ≤ -1.0 (i.e. WHO-defined osteopenia) measured by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA)

Exclusion Criteria
