Brief Summary
The objectives of this study are to determine the effects of nevirapine on the steady-state pharmacokinetics of saquinavir-sgc and to determine the effects of saquinavir-sgc on the steady-state pharmacokinetics of nevirapine. This study will also evaluate the pharmacokinetics of nevirapine in combination with saquinavir-sgc compared to historical controls treated with nevirapine but without saquinavir-sgc.

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Male or female patients between the ages of 18 and 65 years who are seropositive for HIV-1 antibody by an ELISA test and confirmed by an alternative method, e.g. Western blot
- Patients who meet the following laboratory parameters:
- Granulocyte count ≥ 1000 cells/mm3
- Hemoglobin ≥ 9.0 g(dL (men and women)
- Platelet count ≥ 75,000 cells/mm3
- Alkaline phosphatase ≤ 3.0 times the upper limit of normal
- Serum glutamic oxalo-acetic transaminase (SGOT) and serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT) ≤ 3.0 times the upper limit of normal
- Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 times the upper limit of normal
- Patients receiving a stable antiretroviral regimen, including saquinavir-sgc (Fortovase®) 1600 mg b.i.d. in the 28 days prior to visit 1
- Female patients of childbearing potential must be willing to use a reliable form of contraception, which should include a medically approved form of barrier contraception
- Patients able to provide written informed consent and comply with study requirements
- Patients with a viral load less than 400 copies/mL
You may not qualify if:
- Female patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding
- Patients requiring systemic treatment with corticosteroids or drugs known to be hepatic enzyme inducers or inhibitors in the 14 days prior to visit 1. Such substances in these categories include macrolide antibiotics (erythromycin, clarithromycin, azithromycin, dirithromycin), azole antifungals (ketoconazole, fluconazole, itraconazole), rifampin, rifabutin, and phenytoin
- Patients with previous exposure to (or are currently being treated with) non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs)
- Patients receiving a protease inhibitor other than saquinavir-sgc (Fortovase®) in the 28 days prior to visit 1
- Patients receiving any investigational drug, antineoplastic agent or radiotherapy other than local skin radiotherapy treatment in the 12 weeks prior to visit 1
- Patients with malabsorption, severe chronic diarrhea or patients unable to maintain adequate oral intake
- Patients with a current history of intravenous drug abuse, alcohol or substance abuse (within the last year)
- Patients undergoing treatment for an active infection
- Patients who are heavy smokers (≥ 20 cigarettes or cigars per day)
