HIV Infections
Conditions
Brief summary
The summary of the Study is to compare two methods in order to predict how the 1-HIV will use a co-receptor: the use of an accredited test (TROFILE ESTA®) and the viral response to a CCR5 antagonist in the short term.
Interventions
The Trofile ESTA® will be performed in those patients and once the results are obtained (within one month approximately), the patients will be treated with the medication Maraviroc

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Patients willing to give, sign and date the Informed Consent Form to participate in the Study and to donate their samples for cell and molecular Studies, after receiving the appropriate information about the Study design, the main objective of the Study and the potential risks. * Patients aged \>18. * Patients with chronic HIV infection * Patients with no previous HAART (naïve patients). * Patients that do not meet HAART starting criteria. * Viral load \>1.000 HIV RNA copies/mL * Patients able to understand the Study objectives and able to perform frequent visits to the Study Site.
Exclusion criteria
* Prior HAART (regardless of the HAART type). * Pregnancy or willingness to get pregnant during the Study.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To determine if there is a correlation between the Trofile ESTA® test for viral tropism and the viral load reduction after a short treatment with maraviroc in naïve patients (patients with no previous HAART) | 10 days of treatment per patient |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To establish a viral load reduction cut point, which would differentiate R5-tropic virus from non-R5 tropic virus(X4/dual/mixed). | 1 month per patient |
| To assess the viral response to a CCR5 antagonist according to the viral tropism identified in the phenotypic Study. | 1 month per patient |
| Safety assessment throughout the Study | 12 months |
| Maraviroc effects assessment in the drug-resistance evolution in naïve patients | 12 months |
| Tropism changes assessment since the Screening period | 1 month per patient |
