14. 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,Ritonavir, atorvastatin or erythromycin to the subject

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, might interfere with either the absorption, distribution or metabolism of the test substances
