* Subject is not breast-feeding.
* Vital signs, physical examination and laboratory results do not exhibit evidence of acute illness.
* Subject has no significant history of cardiac, renal, neurologic, psychiatric, oncologic, endocrinologic, metabolic or hepatic disease that would adversely affect his/her participating in this study.
* Subject does not require and agrees not to take any of the following medications for the duration of the study: midazolam, triazolam, terfenadine, astemizole, cisapride, pimozide, propafenone, flecainide, certain ergot derivatives (ergotamine, dihydroergotamine, ergonovine, and methylergonovine), rifampin, lovastatin, simvastatin, and St. John's wort.
* Subject agrees not to take any medication during the study, including over-the-counter medicine, herbal medications, alcohol or recreational drugs without the knowledge and permission of the principal investigator.
* Subject has a Karnofsky Score greater than or equal to 70
* Subject has not been treated for an active AIDS-defining opportunistic infection within 30 days of screening. Subjects who are on stable maintenance therapy for an opportunistic infection may be enrolled after consultation with Abbott.
* Subject is naive to antiretroviral treatment (< 7 days ARV treatment).
* Subject has a plasma HIV RNA level of greater than 1,000 copies/mL at screening.
* Subject agrees to take all doses of the lopinavir/ritonavir from the bottles provided by the sponsor (rather than take doses from a personal "dosette" box).
* Subject has voluntarily signed and dated an informed consent form, approved by an Institutional Review Board (IRB)/Independent Ethics Committee (IEC), after the nature of the study has been explained and the subject has had the opportunity to ask questions. The informed consent must be signed before any study-specific procedures are performed.

* Subject has a positive result on the screening tests for drugs of abuse.
* Subject has a history of substance abuse or psychiatric illness that could preclude adherence with the protocol.
