To compare the magnitude and durability of the reduction in plasma HIV RNA in the two treatment groups over the first 12 weeks of treatment. To determine the safety of each of the two treatment groups.
Patients will be randomized to either Stavudine (d4T) + Lamivudine (3TC) + Zidovudine placebo or Zidovudine (ZDV) + Lamivudine + Stavudine placebo. Patients whose plasma HIV RNA levels remain \>= 500 copies/ml after 8 weeks of blinded double combination therapy will have indinavir added to their treatment regimen at the week 12 visit.
