This 2 arm study will assess the effect of moderate liver impairment on the pharmacokinetics of saquinavir and ritonavir at steady state following administration of saquinavir/ritonavir 1000mg/100mg po bid in HIV patients. Saquinavir/ritonavir will be administered concomitantly with 2 to 3 active nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors. The study will compare a group of HIV patients without known liver disease and a group with moderate liver disease. The anticipated time on study treatment is \<3 months, and the target sample size is \<100 individuals.

Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve From Time of Administration to 12 Hours After Dosing (AUC 0-12h) of Saquinavir (SQV) and Ritonavir (RTV)
Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve (AUC) is a measure of the plasma concentration of the drug over time. It is used to characterize drug absorption. The pharmacokinetic profile for following 14 days of administration with SQV/RTV 1000/100 mg BID included determining the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from 0 to 12 hours after dosing (AUC (0-12h) of SQV and RTV The AUC (0-12hours) was analyzed for SQV and RTV by non-compartmental methods, using WinNonlin.
Time frame: Pre-dose and at 0.5 hr, 1hr, 2hrs, 3hrs, 4hrs, 5hrs, 6hrs, 8hrs, 10hrs, and 12 hrs post-dose on Day 14
Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of SQV and RTV
The plasma concentration (Cmax) is defined as maximum observed analyte concentration. The pharmacokinetic profile for following 14 days of administration with SQV/RTV 1000/100 mg BID included determining the maximum observed plasma concentration (C max) of SQV and Ritonavir RTV The Cmax was analyzed for SQV and RTV by non-compartmental methods, using WinNonlin.
Time frame: Pre-dose and at 0.5 hr, 1hr, 2hrs, 3hrs, 4hrs, 5hrs, 6hrs, 8hrs, 10hrs, and 12 hrs post-dose on Day 14
Time of Maximum Plasma Concentration (Tmax) of SQV and RTV
The Tmax is defined as actual sampling time to reach maximum observed analyte concentration. The Pharmacokinetic profile for following 14 days of administration with SQV/RTV 1000/100 mg BID included determining the time of maximum plasma concentration of SQV and RTV. The Tmax was analyzed for SQV and RTV by non-compartmental methods, using WinNonlin.
Time frame: Pre-dose and at 0.5 hr, 1hr, 2hrs, 3hrs, 4hrs, 5hrs, 6hrs, 8hrs, 10hrs, and 12 hrs post-dose on Day 14
Terminal Half-life (T1/2) of SQV and RTV
Terminal half-life is the time measured for the plasma concentration to decrease by one half. The Pharmacokinetic profile for following 14 days of administration with SQV/RTV 1000/100 mg BID included determining the terminal half-life (T1/2) of SQV and RTV. The T1/2 was analyzed for SQV and RTV by non-compartmental methods, using WinNonlin.

Time frame: Pre-dose and at 0.5 hr, 1hr, 2hrs, 3hrs, 4hrs, 5hrs, 6hrs, 8hrs, 10hrs, and 12 hrs post-dose on Day 14
Minimum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmin) of SQV and RTV
Cmin is the minimum blood plasma concentration that a drug achieves. The Pharmacokinetic profile for following 14 days of administration with SQV/RTV 1000/100 mg BID included determining the minimum observed plasma concentration (C min) of SQV and RTV The Cmin was analyzed for SQV and RTV by non-compartmental methods, using WinNonlin.
Time frame: Pre-dose and at 0.5 hr, 1hr, 2hrs, 3hrs, 4hrs, 5hrs, 6hrs, 8hrs, 10hrs, and 12 hrs post dose on Day 14
Plasma Clearance After Oral Administration (CL/F) of SQV and RTV
The CL/F is the oral clearance; that is clearance based on oral bioavailability. The Pharmacokinetic profile for following 14 days of administration with SQV/RTV 1000/100 mg BID included determining the plasma clearance after oral administration (CL/F)of SQV and RTV The CL/F was analyzed for SQV and RTV by non-compartmental methods, using WinNonlin.
Time frame: Pre-dose and at 0.5 hr, 1hr, 2hrs, 3hrs, 4hrs, 5hrs, 6hrs, 8hrs, 10hrs, and 12 hrs post dose on Day 14
Volume of Distribution (Vd) of SQV and RTV
Vd is defined as the theoretical volume in which the total amount of drug would need to be uniformly distributed to produce the desired blood concentration of a drug. The pharmacokinetic profile for following 14 days of administration with SQV/RTV 1000/100 mg BID included determining the Vd of SQV and RTV The Vd was analyzed for SQV and RTV by non-compartmental methods, using WinNonlin.
