Brief Summary:
To evaluate the effect of early viral reactivation by latency reversing agents (LRA) and/or administration of potent broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAb) on the size of the latent HIV-1 reservoir in treatment naïve HIV-1 patients initiating antiretroviral therapy (ART)

Detailed Description:

The study will be conducted among ART naïve HIV-1-infected patients.

  2. Quantification of the size of the proviral HIV reservoir [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
    Copies of total HIV-1 DNA per 10⁶ CD4+ T cells as measured by digital droplet PCR


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Incidence of treatment emerging events (Safety and tolerability) [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
    Frequence and severity of adverse events (AE), adverse reactions (AR), serious adverse events (SAE), serious adverse reactions (SAR) and suspected unexpected serious adverse reactions (SUSAR).

  2. Quantification of the integrated HIV DNA [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
    Integrated HIV-1 DNA in CD4+ T cells (copies per million cells) as measured by alu-PCR.

  3. Quantification of the size of the replication-competent HIV reservoir [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
    The frequency of CD4+ T cells latently infected with replication competent HIV as measured by infectious units per million (IUPM) CD4+ T cells in a viral outgrowth assay

  4. Immune reconstitution [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
    Absolute CD4+ and CD8+ T cell count

  5. Analytic treatment interruption (ATI) study [ Time Frame: 64 weeks ]
