• Standard triple ART (FTC/TDF + EFV) intensified with raltegravir
  for 12 weeks
  • Was well tolerated
  • Resulted in faster HIV RNA reduction through 24 weeks, and higher increase in CD4 at 48 weeks
  • But did not reduce mortality or WHO 3/4 events through either week 24 or 48

Design

Two other factorial randomisations: 12 weeks enhanced prophylaxis, 12 weeks supplementary food

Objective

• Primary endpoint: 24-week mortality

Baseline characteristics
