Brief summary

The goal of this study is to analyze in treatment-naïve HIV patients the antiviral activity, using a test and treat strategy, in real life of BIC/FTC/TAF. Secondary, this study aims to evaluate outcomes for implementation of the evidence based test and treat strategy.

Interventions

TEST and TREAT strategy: Study group will start the intervention at the first visit with their healthcare provider.
