Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

It is necessary to better understand the transmission of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) genome sequences by gametes without replication-competent virus transmission. In fact, HIV endogenization could be protective. Some studies are supporting this hypothesis, one shew the presence of HIV genome sequences in spermatozoa, and others show that HIV-positive "Elite controllers" patients have HIV genome sequences without a replication competent virus. One study found HIV genome sequences without a replication-competent virus in the cells of an HIV-negative child whose mother is a non-sick HIV-positive. We will conduct a prospective descriptive and analytical study over a period of 2 years, from September 2018 to November 2020. We will explore by FISH method in the IHU Méditerranée-Infection laboratory, Marseille, the presence or absence of HIV genome sequences without a replication-competent virus in epithelial cells of children with parents are infected by HIV. Children included must be under 12 months of age, followed at Robert Debré Hospital, Paris or Timone Enfant Hospital, Marseille because of a parental HIV infection. They must have the recommended blood tests to assess their HIV status and the parents consent should be written. Subsequent progression to HIV infection or not will be followed and a statistical study will be conducted to establish a link between the presence of endogenized HIV genome sequences in epithelial cells and the developpement or not of HIV infection.
