Summary:

      People infected with HIV often have cognitive dysfunction even if they are on antiretroviral
      therapy (ART) and have undetectable viral loads. The study evaluated if the addition of
      maraviroc (MVC) and dolutegravir (DTG) (which are two antiretroviral [ARV] medications) to
      participants' existing ART regimens improved participants' neurocognitive performance.
    

Eligibility criteria:

        Inclusion Criteria:

          -  HIV-1 infection, documented by:

               -  a licensed rapid HIV test or HIV enzyme or chemiluminescence immunoassay (E/CIA)
                  test kit at any time prior to study entry and confirmed by a licensed Western
                  blot or a second antibody test by a method other than the initial rapid HIV
                  and/or E/CIA, or by HIV-1 antigen or plasma HIV-1 RNA viral load. NOTE: The term
                  "licensed" refers to a United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved
                  kit, which is required for all IND studies, or for sites located in countries
                  other than the United States, a kit that has been certified or licensed by an
                  oversight body within that country and validated internally. Non-US sites are
                  encouraged to use US FDA-approved methods for IND studies. WHO (World Health
                  Organization) and CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) guidelines
                  mandate that confirmation of the initial test result must use a test that is
                  different from the one used for the initial assessment. A reactive initial rapid
                  test should be confirmed by either another type of rapid assay or an E/CIA that
                  is based on a different antigen preparation and/or different test principle (eg,
                  indirect versus competitive), or a Western blot or a plasma HIV-1 RNA. OR

               -  Documentation of HIV diagnosis in the medical record by a healthcare provider.

          -  On current ART for at least 6 months prior to study entry with no interruption in

                  regimens

          -  No plans to change ART while on study. Note: The following planned ART changes are
             allowed:

                  an indinavir (IDV)- or atazanavir (ATV)-containing regimen at the time of
                  screening, total bilirubin less than or equal to 5 x ULN is acceptable.
