Eligibility Criteria

19 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Participant is ≥19 years of age infected with HIV-1
  2. Participant has an undetectable viral load <40 copies/mL at screening with any CD4 count and has exhibited any, or all of the following:

    1. Transient HIV viremia (episodes of HIV viral load between 40-1000 copies/mL) in the past 12 months, OR Virologic breakthrough (HIV viral load > 1000 copies/mL) in the past 12 months, OR Documented instances of non-adherence for a period of more than 7 days or…
    2. Participant is currently on multi-tablet HIV antiretroviral therapy, including multi-tablet regimens and/or two drug combinations (dual therapy)
    3. Participant has a history or current indication of illicit drug use.
    4. Patients infected with HCV and or HBV can be included in this study.
    5. If female, participant must have a negative pregnancy test and agree to use, for the duration of the study, a method of birth control that has a history of proven reliability as judged by the investigator.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. They have any documented history of integrase inhibitor resistance

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
In an effort to engage more HIV-infected PWUD into care, and ensure treatment adherence and efficacy, simplification of older, multi-tablet regimens is required. Newer, more potent molecules can also overcome resistant that has persisted with previous regimens, while simultaneously providing a high barrier to resistance. The co-formulation of B/F/TAF is a viable switch-option for patients who have experienced lower adherence with previous regimens due to high pill burden, or for those requiring a more potent regimen due to emergent resistances. The formal evaluation of B/F/TAF in this context will allow us to optimize care for HIV-infected PWUD.
