Popis: Objective: To examine the effect of adding nevirapine (NVP) and/or hydroxyurea (HU) to a triple nucleoside analogue reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) regimen in terms of efficacy and tolerability. Methods: HIV-1-infected, treatment-naive adults were randomized, using a factorial design, to add NVP and/or HU to the triple NRTI backbone of zidovudine plus lamivudine plus abacavir. Primary endpoint was treatment failure, defined as having plasma HIV RNA levels > 50 copies/ml after week 24, or discontinuation of randomized treatment. Follow-up was 72 weeks Results: For the 229 subjects, median plasma HIV-1 RNA was 4.61 log(10) copies/ml and median CD4 cell count was 269 x 10(6) cells/l. NVP users reached plasma HIV-1 RNA
