A Trial to Confirm a Sustained Virological Suppression Defined as HIV-RNA <50 Copies/ml of 3 Different Doses of Fozivudine in Context to a Standard Zidovudine Based Antiretroviral Therapy Regimen
A prospective, multicenter, open, randomized Phase 2a trial to confirm a sustained virological suppression defined as HIV-RNA \<50 copies/ml of 3 different doses of Fozivudine in context to a standard Zidovudine based antiretroviral therapy regimen after 24 weeks of treatment in ART naïve, non subtype B HIV-1 infected individuals from Tanzania and Ivory Coast.
