C: Inclusion criteria:

* Infected with documented HIV-1.
* Subjects are Abacavir-naive (subjects can be antiretroviral therapy (ART)-naive or experienced).
* All subjects must have a clinical need for treatment with Abacavir (ABC) or an ABC-containing product that precedes the decision to participate in the study.
* If subjects are therapy naive they must meet the criteria for commencing HAART according to local guidelines.
* ABC and ABC-containing products are not recommended during pregnancy. A female is eligible to enter and participate in the study if she is of:

  1. Non-child-bearing potential: women who are surgically sterile or post-menopausal, the latter indicated by history of no menses for a minimum of 1 year from the date of the screening visit.

Child-bearing potential: women who provide a negative pregnancy test (beta-human chorionic gonadotrophin; beta-HCG) at Screening and who agree to one of the following methods of contraception (any contraception method must be used consistently and correctly, i.e., in accordance with both the approved product label and the instructions of a physician, during the study period and through epicutaneous patch testing where appropriate):
* Complete abstinence from intercourse from 4 weeks prior to administration of the ABC-containing compound, throughout the study, and for at least 4 weeks after discontinuation of ABC or ABC-containing product.
* Double barrier method (e.g., male condom/spermicide, male condom/diaphragm, diaphragm/spermicide). Hormonal contraceptives will not be considered sufficient forms of contraception for this study.
