Summary

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate non-inferiority in efficacy of a darunavir/cobicistat/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (D/C/F/TAF) fixed dose combination (FDC) tablet versus Darunavir/Cobicistat (DRV/COBI) FDC coadministered with Emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (FTC/TDF) FDC in human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) infected, antiretroviral (ARV) treatment naive adult participants.
