To assess the combined effects of fosamprenavir 700mg BID + ritonavir 100mg BID + standardized dose of methadone, on plasma total and unbound methadone enantiomer pharmacokinetics (PK), opiate pharmacodynamic (PD) measures, and safety. The effect of methadone on plasma amprenavir PK will also be assessed by comparison to historical control data.

Serial blood samples will be collected over 24 hours for measurement of plasma (R-) and (S-) methadone (days 4 and 18) and serum amprenavir concentrations (day 18).
On study days 4, 11, and 18, opioid effects will be assessed pre-dose, 2 hours, and 6 hours following methadone dosing. Pharmacokinetic and opioid pharmacodynamic parameters will be compared between the two treatments.
