Purpose
The purpose of this study is to find out how well the HIV medication dolutegravir gets into different parts of the body: including blood plasma, special blood cells, and rectal tissue. Specifically, investigators want to compare how fast dolutegravir lowers the HIV viral load in these three different sites. In addition, investigators seek to learn if there are any differences in how dolutegravir acts in males and females. Results of this study will provide more information about HIV medications and their limitations. In the future, this could help create better HIV medications that can get into these hard-to-reach places and eventually cure HIV infection.

| Arms | Assigned Interventions |
|---|---|
|
Anti-retroviral (ARV) Naïve Males
Males diagnosed with HIV will undergo serial blood and tissue rectal sampling for twelve weeks after initiating ARV therapy as prescribed by their physician. Participants will be treated with either Triumeq or Truvada and dolutegravir.
|
Drug: dolutegravir
Tivicay is a human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) integrase strand transfer inhibitor (INSTI) indicated in combination with other antiretroviral agents for the treatment of HIV-1 infection. 50 mg of Tivicay (dolutegravir) will be taken orally once a day in combination with Truvada.
Other Name: Tivicay
Drug: Triumeq
Triumeq is a fixed-dose combination drug for the treatment of HIV/AIDS. It is a combination of 600 mg abacavir, 50 mg dolutegravir and 300 mg lamivudine. Triumeq will be taken orally once daily.
Drug: Truvada
Truvada is a combination of emtriva and viread, both nucleoside analog HIV-1 reverse transcriptase inhibitors. Truvada is indicated in combination with other antiretroviral agents for the treatment of HIV-1 infection. One Truvada tablet (containing 200 mg/300 mg of emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate) will be taken orally once daily in combination with Tivicay (dolutegravir).

Anti-retroviral (ARV) Naïve Females
Females diagnosed with HIV will undergo serial blood and tissue rectal sampling for twelve weeks after initiating ARV therapy as prescribed by their physician. Participants will be treated with either Triumeq or Truvada and dolutegravir.

Detailed Description:
The purpose of this study is to find out how well the HIV medication dolutegravir gets into different parts of the body: including blood plasma, special blood cells, and rectal tissue. Specifically, investigators want to compare how fast dolutegravir lowers the HIV viral load in these three different sites. In addition, investigators seek to learn if there are any differences in how dolutegravir acts in males and females. Results of this study will provide more information about HIV medications and their limitations. In the future, this could help create better HIV medications that can get into these hard-to-reach places and eventually cure HIV infection.
The primary aim of this study is to validate the integrated population PK-VD model that quantitatively describes the relationship between dolutegravir (DTG) exposure and HIV viral decay in blood plasma. The second aim of this study is to develop an integrated population pharmacokinetic-viral dynamic (PK-VD) model to describe the relationship between DTG exposure and HIV viral decay in peripheral blood mononuclear cells and rectal tissue reservoir sites. The third aim is exploratory and will investigate sex differences in DTG penetration into blood plasma, peripheral blood mononuclear cells and rectal tissue reservoirs reservoirs as well as its impact on the rectal microbiome.
