Neuropathy results from damage to the nerves in the feet and legs. It is usually experienced
as pain, tingling or numbness. In HIV-infected people, neuropathy can result from the
infection itself or be a side effect of antiretroviral treatment. The purpose of this study
is to determine whether two different drugs, methadone and duloxetine, reduce
neuropathy-associated pain in HIV-infected people. This study will also examine whether
utilization of both of these drugs is more effective than treatment with only one.
