We previously demonstrated that short-cycle structured intermittent therapy (SIT; 7 days without therapy followed by 7 days with antiretroviral therapy [ART]) with a ritonavir-boosted, indinavir-based, twice-daily regimen maintained suppression of plasma HIV viremia while reducing serum levels of lipids. Adherence to such a regimen may be problematic for certain patients.
