Description
This study is being done to study a new antiretroviral HIV medication called dolutegravir. This drug is a type of medicine called an integrase inhibitor. Integrase inhibitors work by blocking integrase, a protein that HIV needs to enter human cells and make more copies of itself. The study will help find the best amount or dose of dolutegravir for children and teenagers, when it is taken on its own as well as with other antiretroviral medications. This study will also find out the safety of using this medication in children and adolescents and if there are any side effects from the medication. Dolutegravir has been tested in adults and children. The FDA has approved dolutegravir for use in adults and in children 12 years and older who weigh at least 40 kilograms (about 88 pounds).
