Secondary outcome measures
1. CD4 changes, measured at baseline, week 12 and every 12 weeks thereafter up to the end of the study period.
2. Adverse effects. Clinical signs related to adverse effects are evaluated every 3 months
3. Resistance mutations if virologic failure
4. Clinical progression, evaluated every 3 months
5. Adherence to therapy, evaluated every 3 months
