这个子项目是众多研究子项目之一

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. This study will look at drug levels in the blood in both men and women taking Kaletra¿ (also known as lopinavir/ritonavir) to see if they are different. This study will also try to find out how factors such as age, weight, race/ethnicity, and other medications may affect these drug level results. Recent scientific studies have suggested that more and more women are being infected with the HIV virus. It is thought that half of all the people in the world living with HIV/AIDS are women. However, most of the initial research studies on the safety and effectiveness of drugs used for treatment of HIV infection did not include a lot of women. Recent research suggests that HIV medications may affect men and women differently.
