ANRS EP69 BICTEVOIR is an interventional pilot study, multicenter, involving the use of human biological samples.
34 HIV-1 infected male subjects, from Bicetre, La Pitié Salpêtriere, Antoine-Béclère, Necker, Hôtel-Dieu and Saint-Antoine Hospitals will be recruited.
Different samples will be performed during one single day:
- blood samples
- rectal biopsies
- nodes biopsies
- cutaneous fat tissues biopsies
- semen sample (at home)

- Characterization of the diffusion of bictegravir and associated backbone (tenofovir alafenamide and emtricitabine) in sperm [ Time Frame: At Day 0, At time T0 (before taking treatments) ]Dosage of the different antiretroviral drugs molecules in sperm
- Characterization of the diffusion of bictegravir and associated backbone (tenofovir alafenamide and emtricitabine) in lymph nodes [ Time Frame: At Day 0, between T1 (maximum 3 hours after tacking treatments) and T3 (8 hours after taking treatments) ]Dosage of the different antiretroviral drugs molecules in lymph nodes
- Characterization of the diffusion of bictegravir and associated backbone (tenofovir alafenamide and emtricitabine) in fat tissues [ Time Frame: At Day 0, between T1 (maximum 3 hours after tacking treatments) and T3 (8 hours after taking treatments) ]Dosage of the different antiretroviral drugs molecules in fat tissues
- Characterization of the diffusion of bictegravir and associated backbone (tenofovir alafenamide and emtricitabine) in rectal tissues [ Time Frame: At Day 0, T1 (maximum 3 hours after taking treatment) ]Dosage of the different antiretroviral drugs molecules in rectal tissues
- Characterization of the level of the replication (RNA-HIV) in the reservoirs [ Time Frame: At Day 0 ]Analyze and comparison of the level of viral transcription by measuring the cell-associated HIV- RNA in the different tissues and fluids: lymphoid, rectal, genital secretion, blood and fat biopsies as well as cerebrospinal fluid.
- Characterization of the level of infection (DNA-HIV) in the reservoirs [ Time Frame: At Day 0 ]Analyze and comparison of the reservoir level by measuring the cell-associated total HIV- DNA in the different tissues and fluids
- Study of the spatial dynamics of viral quasi-species In the different reservoirs [ Time Frame: At Day 0 ]Analyze of the spatial dynamics of HIV-DNA and HIV-RNA from Lymphoid, rectal, genital secretion, blood, fat cells by phylogenetic analyses after sequencing Env HIV-DNA and HIV-RNA
- Study of the mutations of resistance in the integrase gene [ Time Frame: At Day 0 ]Description of resistance mutations in Integrase gene which could be linked to suboptimal concentrations of bictegravir
- Description for each compartment of the relationship between exposure to therapeutic combinations and the level of infection / viral replication [ Time Frame: At Day 0 ]Characterization of the relationship between the concentration of bictegravir and backbone drugs with the level of wild type viral replication in the different compartments. Analyze of the impact of backbone drugs associated to bictegravir on viral level production. Correlation between the level of resistant virus replication and the exposure to bictegravir and the backbone drugs. Evaluation by simulation the effect of different dosing regimen of bictegravir (including higher doses) on the level of viral replication and on resistance
