  • Patients with an undetectable viral load, which will be defined as \<50 viral RNA copies/mL within the last six months.
  • Men or women aged≥18.
  • For women with childbearing potential, negative urine pregnancy test during the Screening visit.
  • Patients who would have granted a written informed consent prior to any Study-specific screening procedure.

Exclusion

  • Patients with a written proof of resistance in the accumulated genotype, which would lead to a sensibility loss to lopinavir/ritonavir, or, in case of genotype absence, a documented failure to a protease inhibitor therapy.
  • Patients with a CD4 cells nadir CD4 \<100 cell/microL.
  • Patients who, for any reason, could not be treated with lopinavir/ritonavir.
  • Prior medical history of psychiatric disorders, such as depressive syndrome, schizophrenia or psychotic disease.
  • Known previous medical history of drug abuse/addiction or alcohol chronic consumption, which in the Investigator's opinion, would be incompatible with his/her Study participation.

  • Patients for which, according to the Investigator, will have to change their HAART, regardless of the reason, within the next six months.
  • Renal disease with creatinine clearance \<60 mL/min.
  • Concomitant use of Lopinavir/ritonavir contraindicated drugs, such as rifampicin, dihydroergotamine, ergotamine, methylergonovine, cisapride, hypericum perforatum, lovastatin, simvastatin, pimozide, midazolam and triazolam.
  • Concomitant use of nephrotoxic or immunosuppressor drugs.
  • Patients currently treated with systemic corticosteroids, interleukine-2 or chemotherapy.
