Study of Lenacapavir for HIV Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis in People Who Are at Risk for HIV Infection

The goal of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the study drugs, lenacapavir (LEN) in preventing HIV infection, in participants ≥ 16 years of age who have condomless receptive anal sex with partners assigned male at birth and are at risk for HIV-1 infection. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of LEN for HIV-1 PrEP in participants ≥ 16 years of age who have condomless receptive anal sex with partners assigned male at birth at risk of HIV-1 infection.
