Summary
The main goal of this study is to determine how taking efavirenz affects the levels of pitavastatin in the bloodstream when both drugs are taken together and to see how darunavir with ritonavir affects the levels of pitavastatin in the bloodstream. Secondary goals are to see how taking pitavastatin affects the levels in the blood of efavirenz when both drugs are taken together and to see how taking pitavastatin affects the levels in the blood of darunavir.
