The main objective of this one year multidisciplinary research is to estimate the frequency of seropositive men having sex with men (MSM) under antiretroviral therapy (ART) having an undetectable blood viral load (VL) and a detectable VL in semen. Design: Participants'inclusion (n=150) will be done in 6 HIV hospital departments participating to the research project. To warrant feasibility and diversity of participants needed, the centers will be located in Paris and nearby suburbs. The study design is based on one blood and semen sample taken at day 0 and at day 30. Blood and semen samples will be taken in the enrolment centers. Biological and virological analyses will be performed by the laboratory of microbiology at Necker hospital, on blood and semen samples. Pharmacological analyses are planned in a subsequent study. Socio-behavioral data will be collected through a self-administered questionnaire at day 0 and day 30. Schedule: Patients' enrolment, collection of biological samples and questionnaires will last 10 months (end of first quarter 2012). Biological and virological analyses will be performed until the end of the first semester 2012. Quantitative and socio-behavioral data will be analyzed during the third quarter 2012. Results will be released at the beginning of year 2013.
