   • Have a positive serum B-HCG at Visit 1 or 2 or
   • Have not been using regular oral contraception (combined oestrogen and progestogen pill or progestogen only pill) for 3 months and a barrier contraceptive method for at least 30 days prior to Visit 3 (Day 1) or a barrier contraceptive method for at least 3 months prior to Visit 3 (Day 1) or
   • Are not willing to use a reliable method of double-barrier contraception (such as diaphragm with spermicidal cream/jelly or condoms with spermicidal foam)during the trial and 30 days after completion/termination or
   • Are breast-feeding
2. Participation in another trial with an investigational medicine for 30 days prior to Day 0 (Visit 2)
3. Ingestion of any known enzyme altering drug (such as phenothiazines, cimetidine, barbiturates, ketoconazole, fluconazole, rifampin, steroids, and herbal medications) for 30 days prior to Day 0 (Visit 2). Use of any other herbal/complementary treatment must be discussed in advance with the monitor and permission obtained prior to study entry
4. Ingestion of grapefruit, grapefruit juice, and Cabernet Sauvignon within 15 days prior to Day 0 (Visit 2)
5. Ingestion of Seville oranges, strawberries or strawberry extract, garlic supplements, St. John's Wort, Milk Thistle, or methylxanthine-containing drinks or food (coffee, tea, cola, energy drinks, chocolate, etc) within 72 hours of PK sampling days
6. Ingestion of antibiotics within 10 days prior to Day 0 (Visit 2)
7. Inability to comply with investigator's instructions
8. History of gastrointestinal, hepatic, or renal disorders within 60 days
9. History of alcohol abuse
10. Current use of cigarettes defined as greater than 10 cigarettes per day or rolling/pipe tobacco equivalent
11. Blood or plasma donations within 30 days prior to Day 0 (Visit 2)
12. Subjects with a seated systolic blood pressure either <100 mm Hg or >150 mm Hg; resting heart rate either <50 beats/min or >100 beats/min
13. Subjects with a history of any illness or allergy that, in the opinion of the investigator, might confound the results of the study or pose additional risk in administering tipranavir or ritonavir or tenofovir disoproxil fumarate to the subject
14. Subjects who have had an acute illness within 2 weeks prior to Day 0 (Visit 2)
15. Subjects who are currently taking any over-the-counter drug within 7 days prior to Day 0, (Visit 2) or who are currently taking any prescription drug that, in the opinion of the investigator in consultation with the clinical monitor and pharmacokineticist, might interfere with either the absorption, distribution or metabolism of the test substances
