Brief Summary: The study aims to evaluate the changes in mitochondrial DNA mDNA by means of the mDNAnuclearDNA nDNA ratio as a marker of mitochondrial toxicity following the interruption of nucleoside analogues
Detailed Description: At the moment it is known that mitochondrial toxicity is the main pathogenic mechanism of toxicity associated with nucleoside analogues including lipoatrophy which at facial level is a stigmatising factor for patients with HIV infection

The primary outcome measure of the design of an NTRI-sparing bitherapy is to retard the onset of mitochondrial toxicity or reverse it mainly with regard to the loss of subcutaneous fat or lipoatrophy

Lopinavirritonavir and nevirapine are two antiretrovirals with different mutation patterns and with high antiviral potency Their combination therefore guarantees antiviral success The NEKA study endorses efficacy immunologically and virologically Negredo E et al NRTI-sparing regimen XIV International AIDS Conference Barcelona 2002 LB PeB9021

Similarly the protective effect of nevirapine on lipid metabolism would counteract the negative impact attributed to lopinavirritonavir reducing cardiovascular risk in these patients
