FIT-2 is a multi-country, phase IIb, randomized, non-comparative study, carried out in West Africa (Côte d'Ivoire, Burkina Faso, Senegal, Togo). ARV-naïve HIV-2 infected adult patients will be recruited and followed during 96 weeks. The objective is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 3 first-line treatments in HIV-2 infected adult patients, in West Africa. A treatment will be considered as effective if more than 55% of patients in that arm attain "global success" at 96 weeks.
Main objective To determine in treatment-naïve HIV-2 infected patients, with CD4 counts above 200 cells/mm3, which of the following three regimens of first line treatment, Tenofovir (TDF), Emtricitabine or lamivudine (FTC or 3TC) plus Zidovudine (ZDV); TDF-FTC (3TC) plus Lopinavir/ritonavir (LPV / r); or TDF-FTC (3TC) plus raltegravir (RAL), will result in an "global success" rate of \> 55% at week 96. Number of participants : 210 Main outcome : The proportion of patients with "global success" at W96, defined by survival with a plasma HIV-2 RNA viral load of \<50 copies/ml and the non-occurrence of AIDS classified events (excluding tuberculosis) and the non-occurrence of severe morbidities non-AIDS-defining illness (cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, severe bacterial disease) and a delta of CD4 depending on the initial CD4 count (CD4 delta \> +100cells/mm3 for initial CD4s between 201 and 500 cells/mm3 or delta ≥0 cells/mm3 for initial CD4s \> +500 cells/mm3) Inclusion criteria: * Infection by HIV-2 only; * Age \> or = 18 years; * Naïve for antiretroviral therapy (including antiretroviral treatment in the context of PMTCT except taking a dose of Nevirapine for PMTCT) * CD4 \>200 cells/mm3 * Resident of the city where the study is held or of city suburbs to facilitate participation * Signed informed consent document

The "overall success"
The proportion of patients with "global success" at W96, defined by survival with a plasma HIV-2 RNA viral load of \<50 copies/ml and the non-occurrence of AIDS classified events (excluding tuberculosis) and the non-occurrence of severe morbidities non-AIDS-defining illness (cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, severe bacterial disease) and a delta of CD4 depending on the initial CD4 count (CD4 delta\> +100cells/mm3 for initial CD4s between 201 and 500 cells/mm3 or delta ≥0 cells/mm3 for initial CD4s \> +500 cells/mm3) A treatment is considered to be effective if the "global success" is \> 55 % at 96 weeks.
Time frame: 96 weeks
Therapeutic failure
The percentage of patients in "treatment failure" defined by : 1. death or 2. a delta ≤0 CD4 cells / mm3 between W2 and W24 (or W48) for patients with baseline CD4 between 201 and 500 cells / mm3 or if % of decrease in CD4 \> 20% between W2 and W24 (or W48) for patients with baseline CD4 \> 500 cellules/mm3 or 3. a plasma HIV-2 RNA viral load of \> or =50 copies/ml or 4. the occurrence of an AIDS defining event (excluding tuberculosis).
Time frame: 24 weeks
