Summary
Brief summary
The purpose of the study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the emtricitabine
(FTC)/rilpivirine (RPV)/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) single-tablet regimen (STR)
compared with the efavirenz (EFV)/FTC/TDF STR in HIV-1 infected adults who had not previously
received treatment with antiretroviral medications.

Participants were randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive one of the study treatments.
Randomization was stratified by HIV-1 RNA level (= 100,000 copies/mL or > 100,000 copies/mL)
at screening. A treatment duration of 96 weeks was planned, with the option for subjects in
FTC/RPV/TDF STR arm to receive treatment following the Week 96 visit until FTC/RPV/TDF STR is
commercially available or until Gilead Sciences elects to terminate development in that
country.
