* White blood cell count \< 2,000 cells/mm3 or \> 15,000 cells/mm3

* Serum creatinine \> 1.3 x the site laboratory upper limit of normal (ULN)
* Alanine transaminase (ALT) and/or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) \> 2.5× the site laboratory ULN
* PK, PD and Immunological Subset only: International normalized ratio (INR) \> 1.5× the site laboratory ULN or partial thromboplastin time (PTT) \> 1.25× the site laboratory ULN
4. Known allergy to methylparaben and/or propylparaben
5. Known allergy to any of the study products.
6. Per participant report, use of the following medications and/or products within 12 weeks prior to screening, and/or anticipated use or unwillingness to abstain from use throughout study participation:

8. Symptoms suggestive of acute HIV seroconversion at Screening and Enrollment
9. Has any other condition that, in the opinion of the Investigator of Record (IoR)/designee, would preclude informed consent, make study participation unsafe, complicate interpretation of study outcome data, or otherwise interfere with achieving the study objectives would make the patient unsuitable for the study or unable/unwilling to comply with the study requirements. Such conditions may include, but are not limited to, colorectal abnormalities, substance abuse, or renal, hepatic, hematological, gastrointestinal, endocrine, pulmonary, neurological or psychiatric disease.
