Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • HIV-1 infected patient
  • Age ≥ 18 years
  • CD4 cell count nadir > 200/mm3
  • Genotype on pre-HAART interpreted with the last version of the ANRS AC11 resistance group's algorithm which presents:

    • no major mutation on protease among: D30N, V32I, M46I/L, I47A/V, G48V, I50L/V, 154M/L, L76V, V82A/F/T/S, I84V, N88D/S, L90M,- no mutation on RT (except the mutation A98S if the patient is not infected by the virus subtype C),
    • no mutation on integrase (if the genotype is available),
  • First-line treatment with suppressive triple HAART (2 NRTI + either 1 PI/r, 1 NNRTI or 1 INI). The initial treatment may have changed a maximum of two times but only once for toxicity (changes such Epivir / Ziagen to Kivexa, are not considered as a change of treatment). However, treatment has to be unchanged in the last 6 months
  • Plasma HIV RNA ≤ 50 copies/mL for ≥ 2 years with at least 2 viral load determinations per year. Blips (HIV viral load between 50 and 200 copies/mL but ≤ 50 copies/mL on control sample) are allowed except in the last 6 months. The total number of blips must not exceed 3 in the last 2 years
  • Negative Hepatitis Bs Antigen
  • Effective contraception for women of childbearing potential
  • Informed consent form signed by patient and investigator

  • HIV-2 infection
  • Positive HBc Ac isolated
  • Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) co-infected patients (positive Hepatitis Bs Ag at inclusion)
  • Chronic hepatitis C currently treated or needing therapy in the next 12 months
  • History of HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders
  • Current pregnancy or breastfeeding

  • Known biliary abnormalities (with the exception of Gilbert's syndrome or asymptomatic gallstones)
  • Creatininemia clearance below 50 mL/min (Cockroft-Gault method)
