Summary

This study was done with people who were infected with HIV, but did not show any signs of having HIV. They were also feeling well without taking HIV medication and had low or undetectable levels of the virus in the blood. The purpose of this study was to see if taking HIV medication (antiretroviral therapy \[ART\]) would reduce immune activation (a signal that the body is fighting an infection) in people who have HIV, but did not show symptoms. Also this study helped determine how safe the drug was and how well people reacted to the drug.

For this study, the following antiretroviral therapy (ART) was be provided in the form of a single tablet that contains three different drugs: emtricitabine/rilpivirine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (FTC/RPV/TDF). These drugs were combined as one tablet which was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a single pill to treat HIV infection. The HIV medication provided was one of the recommended treatments for HIV, including people with low viral loads (how much HIV you have in your body) who were taking HIV drugs for the first time. The risks seen with this HIV medication were the same that one would encounter when taking these drugs outside of the study.

Interventions

DRUG

Emtricitabine/rilpivirine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate

Step 1: From entry through week 12, the participants received no study treatment. From week 12 through week 60, the participants received one fixed dose combination emtricitabine/rilpivirine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (FTC/RPV/TDF) tablet daily. Step 2 (Optional): From week 60 through week 108, the participants either received one FTC/RPV/TDF tablet daily or no study treatment.
