study to evaluate a hiv drug for the treatment of hiv infection

Conditions: Infection, Human Immunodeficiency Virus; HIV Infections

Summary: the primary purpose of this study is to study the safety and tolerability of a hiv drug and to evaluate a decrease of hiv-1 virus level in blood after treatments in hiv-1 infected patients

masking: open-part b. double blind-parts a and c gender: both female and male participants for parts a and c. male participants for part b. hiv = human immunodeficiency virus rna = ribonucleic acid
