Administered via SC injections
Other Name: GS-6207

Drug: PTM F/TAF
Tablets administered orally

Experimental: Blinded Phase: LEN + PTM F/TDF

Participants will receive the following for at least 52 weeks:

  • SC LEN 927 mg every 26 weeks
  • Oral PTM Emtricitabine/Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate (F/TDF) once daily
  • Oral LEN 600 mg on Days 1 and 2

Experimental: Blinded Phase: Placebo LEN + F/TAF

Participants will receive the following for at least 52 weeks:

  • SC placebo LEN every 26 weeks
  • Oral F/TAF 200/25 mg once daily
  • Oral PTM LEN on Days 1 and 2
Drug: F/TAF

  • SC placebo LEN every 26 weeks
  • Oral F/TDF 200/300 mg once daily
  • Oral PTM LEN on Days 1 and 2
Drug: F/TDF
Tablets administered orally
Other Name: Truvada®

Drug: Placebo SC LEN
Administered via SC injections

Drug: PTM Oral LEN
Tablets administered orally

Experimental: LEN Open-Label Extension (OLE) Phase

After completion of the Blinded phase, participants will be offered entry into the LEN OLE Phase.

Participants randomized to LEN will continue to receive SC LEN 927 mg every 26 weeks for a total of 2 doses.

Participants randomized to F/TAF or F/TDF will receive SC LEN 927 mg on OLE Day 1 and OLE Week 26, and will also receive oral LEN 600 mg on OLE Days 1 and 2.

Drug: Oral Lenacapavir (LEN)
Tablets administered orally without regard to food
Other Name: GS-6207

Administered via SC injections
Other Name: GS-6207

Experimental: Pharmacokinetic (PK) Tail Coverage Phase

At the completion of the LEN OLE phase, participants will transition into the PK Tail Coverage phase.

Additionally, participants that either prematurely discontinue the study drug during the blinded phase or choose not to continue in the LEN OLE phase (if randomized to LEN in the blinded phase) or who discontinue the study drug in the LEN OLE phase are also eligible to transition to the PK Tail Coverage phase.

Participants will receive oral F/TDF once daily for 78 weeks beginning 26 weeks after the last LEN injection.

Drug: F/TDF
Tablets administered orally
Other Name: Truvada®




Primary Outcome Measures :

Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. HIV Incidence Among Participants While Adherent to Study Drug [ Time Frame: When all participants have a minimum of 52 weeks of exposure to study drug or permanent discontinuation, whichever occurs first (maximum approximately 3 years) ]
  2. Percentage of Participants Experiencing Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events [ Time Frame: When all participants have a minimum of 52 weeks of exposure to study drug or permanent discontinuation, whichever occurs first (maximum approximately 3 years) ]
  3. Percentage of Participants Experiencing Clinically Significant Laboratory Abnormalities [ Time Frame: When all participants have a minimum of 52 weeks of exposure to study drug or permanent discontinuation, whichever occurs first (maximum approximately 3 years) ]
