Intervention(s)
Primary Outcome(s)
Comparison of integrity and functionality of HIV sequences, through full viral genome sequencing, genotypic tropism and qVOA, between patients with Low (LoViReT) and Normal (controls) levels of total HIV DNA [Time Frame: 16 months]
Longitudinal analysis of total HIV DNA and immune-phenotype by Digital Droplet PCR and Flow Cytometry, respectively, comparing this outcome before and after cART (evaluation of cART effect on this parameters) [Time Frame: 10 months]
Analysis and comparison of progression-associated genetic factors, between patients with Low (LoViReT) and Normal (controls) levels of total HIV DNA [Time Frame: 4 months]
Evaluation and Comparison of CD8 T-cell responses, by ELISPOT and inhibition assays, between patients with Low (LoViReT) and Normal (controls) levels of total HIV DNA [Time Frame: 8 months]
