Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Intensification of antiretroviral therapy with oral raltegravir and or oral hyper-immune bovine colostrum 48 weeks.
Particiapants be be randomly allocated to one of four arms of the study
I. Raltegravir 400mg (1 tablet) twice daily + hyper-immune bovine colostrum placebo (3 tablets) twice daily
II. Raltegravir placebo (1 tablet) twice daily + hyper-immune bovine colostrum 1800mg (3 tablets) twice daily
III. Raltegravir 400mg (1 tablet) twice daily + hyper-immune bovine colostrum 1800mg (3 tablets) twice daily
IV. Raltegravir placebo (1 tablet) twice daily + hyper-immune bovine colostrum placebo (3 tablets) twice daily
Intervention code [1] 4108 0
Treatment: Drugs
Comparator / control treatment
raltegravir placebo is made to match the 400mg raltegravir image and is made of lactose monhydrate, cellulose- microcrystalline, Magnesium stearate (non bovine), Purified water (removed during processing) and Opadry II Pink (85F94224)

Hyper-immune bovine colostrum placebo is made to match the 600mg hyper-immune bovine colostrum image. It is made of
Milk Protein Concentrate .
Control group
Placebo

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 5493 0
