Platelet count greater or equal than 100,000/mm3
Condoms (male or female) with or without a spermicidal agent
Diaphragm or cervical cap with spermicide
Antiretroviral treatment with a regimen that includes either atazanavir 300 mg daily with ritonavir 100 mg daily or darunavir/ritonavir on a combination of 800/100 mg daily for at least 6 months prior to enrollment.
Men and women greater or equal than 18 years of age.
CD4+ cell count ≥ 350/mm3 for at least 6 months prior to enrollment and performed at any CLIA-certified laboratory.
Hemoglobin greater or equal than 10.0 g/dL
IUD
Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) greater or equal than 750/mm3
Subjects taking any precautionary concomitant medications must be on stable doses for >8 weeks prior to study entry and have no plans to change medications or doses for the duration of the study.
Karnofsky performance score greater or equal than 80 within 30 days prior to study entry (Appendix I).

Willing to return for a follow-up visit on day 58.
Ability and willingness of subject or legal guardian/representative to give written informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria

Use of inducers of metabolism by the cytochrome P450 3A4 (i.e.: Rifampin, Carbamazepine, Phenytoin) with the exception of the protease inhibitors considered in this trial.
History of allergy to aprepitant or its formulations.
Serious illness requiring systemic treatment and/or hospitalization until subject either completes therapy or is clinically stable on therapy, in the opinion of the investigator, for at least 14 days prior to study entry.

Use of systemic corticosteroids or hormonal agents within 90 days prior to study entry.
Breast-feeding.
History of severe psychiatric comorbidities, such as depression, schizophrenia, mania, psychosis

Weight < 40 kg or 88 lbs. within 90 days prior to study entry.
Active drug or alcohol use or dependence that, in the opinion of the investigator, would interfere with adherence to study requirements.
Use of any immunomodulator, HIV vaccines, or investigational therapy within 90 days prior to study entry. However, if the experimental agent has a short half life, as determined by the Principal Investigator, the required wash out period can be reduced to 30 days.
Any vaccination within 30 days prior to study entry.
History of chronic active hepatitis B or C infection or severe hepatic dysfunction (Child-Pugh score > 9) regardless of etiology

This is an open-label, single arm, phase I study to determine the safety, PK characteristics and anti-inflammatory effects of the NK-R1 coadministered with ritonavir-containing antiretroviral therapy in individuals with well-controlled viral replication. Our hypothesis is that Aprepitant will be safe, well tolerated, and will have anti-inflammatory properties when administered concomitantly with the protease inhibitor ritonavir. The study will recruit 12 participants receiving either darunavir/ritonavir or atazanavir/ritonavir
