  Purpose

Purpose: To see how growing older changes the amount of HIV drugs in the blood of HIV-infected men and women. Many changes happen in the investigators bodies as the investigators get older that may affect the way drugs are carried in the blood, broken down or removed from the body. This study will look at the amount of drug in the blood and cells of the immune system for patients taking efavirenz, tenofovir and emtricitabine or atazanavir boosted with ritonavir, tenofovir and emtricitabine.

Participants: The population will comprise of 56 (6 for intensive PK and 50 for sparse sampling) HIV-infected adults currently adhering to an antiretroviral regimen containing efavirenz with tenofovir and emtricitabine and the same number and distribution of HIV-infected adults currently adhering to an antiretroviral regimen containing atazanavir boosted with ritonavir with tenofovir and emtricitabine.

Procedures (methods): This study will be completed at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. There will be four groups of subjects: Efavirenz/tenofovir/emtricitabine Group A, Efavirenz/tenofovir/emtricitabine Group B, Atazanavir/ritonavir/tenofovir/emtricitabine Group A, and Atazanavir/ritonavir/tenofovir/emtricitabine Group B.

The initial six subjects (Group A) for intensive PK analysis for each regimen will be recruited from the the UNC ID Clinic or the Moses Cone Health System Infectious Diseases Clinic, and will be comprised of non-frail subjects not currently receiving interacting drugs. If subjects provide informed consent, timed blood samples will be obtained to determine pharmacokinetic parameters around an observed dose of one of the two study regimens. A whole blood sample will also be collected and stored for potential drug metabolizing enzymes and transporters genotyping in the future. Group A subjects will complete a follow-up visit after their sampling visit.

50 subsequent subjects (Group B) for each regimen will be screened simultaneously, with no more than 10 subjects enrolled for each regimen in Group B prior to the completion and analysis of Group A. These subjects will also be recruited from either site. Group B subjects will have two sampling visits with 1 to 3 blood samples obtained at each visit, with a stored sample for future genotyping obtained on one of the visits. Samples will be collected just before the next dose, and 2 hours, between 4 and 6 hrs, and between 10 and 14 hours after a medication dose. These visits may coincide with the subjects' regularly scheduled visit to the clinic, or be scheduled separately, depending on the preference and availability of the subject.
