Summary

Raltegravir is the first marketed strand-transfer inhibitor of HIV-1 that was FDA approved in 2007. It is currently one of the preferred treatment regimens for HIV by the Department of Health and Human Services. It has become a widely used antiretroviral therapy option for HIV infected patients. It provides good tolerability and a favorable lipid profile for patients when compared to some other antiretroviral treatment options. Little data is reported about efficacy in a minority patient population. Moreover, data in an indigent minority population in the United States has not been aggregated before. Therefore this study will investigate the efficacy of raltegravir in minority women residing in Houston, TX who are HIV infected.
