The primary purpose of this study is to: 1. Demonstrate the safety and efficacy of tipranavir/ritonavir (TPV/r) among a racially diverse HIV+ population (males and females) who are three-class (nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI), non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI), and protease inhibitor (PI)) experienced with documented resistance to more than one PI. 2. Determine pharmacokinetic data in this racially and gender diverse population. 3. Determine the potential utility of using therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) in improving efficacy outcomes.
Patients received between two and four active anti-retroviral medications based on resistance testing results, as background treatment, and remained on these for the duration of the trial.
