You may be eligible if

Is human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) positive
Is naïve to antiretroviral therapy (ART) defined as having received ≤10 days of prior therapy with any antiretroviral agent following a diagnosis of HIV-1 infection including prevention of mother-to-child transmission up to 1 month prior to screening.
A female participant is eligible to participate if she is not pregnant or breastfeeding, and at least one of the following conditions applies: 1) Is not a woman of childbearing potential (WOCBP); 2) Is a WOCBP and using an acceptable contraceptive method, or be abstinent from heterosexual intercourse as their preferred and usual lifestyle (abstinent on a long term and persistent basis); 3) A WOCBP must have a negative highly sensitive pregnancy test (\[urine or serum\] as required by local regulations) within 24 hours before the first dose of study intervention; 4) If a urine test cannot be confirmed as negative (eg, an ambiguous result), a serum pregnancy test is required

Is taking or is anticipated to require systemic immunosuppressive therapy, immune modulators, or any prohibited therapy from 45 days prior to Day 1 through the study intervention period
Is currently participating in or has participated in a clinical study with an investigational compound or device from 45 days prior to Day 1 through the study intervention period
Has a documented or known virologic resistance to any approved HIV-1 reverse transcriptase inhibitor, or any study intervention
