• Research summary

  The purpose of the study is to look at the levels of an HIV medication, (raltegravir), in the blood, and how it is affected if raltegravir is taken at the same time as with another medicine for high blood pressure, (amlodipine). Many patients with HIV will also have high blood pressure, so it is important to know which drugs for each of these conditions can be taken together without affecting how well they work individually.
