Brief Summary

The primary objective of this study is to assess the rates of HIV-1 infection in Men (MSM) and transgender women (TGW) who have sex with men and who are administered daily emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (F/TAF) or emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (F/TDF) with a minimum follow-up of 48 weeks and at least 50% of participants have 96 weeks of follow-up after randomization.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Incidence of HIV-1 Infection Per 100 Person Years (PY)When all participants completed minimum follow-up of 48 weeks and at least 50% of the participants completed 96 weeks of follow-up after randomization or permanently discontinued from the study (maximum 125 weeks)

The incidence of HIV-1 infection rate per 100 PY was calculated as the number of participants who became HIV infected during the study after the first dose of study drug divided by the sum of all participants' years (where a year is 365.25 days) of follow-up while at risk of HIV infection during the study.

HIV-1 infection is defined by one or more of the following criteria of contributing HIV tests performed via central lab or local lab:

* Serologic evidence of seroconversion (reactive screening HIV Antigen/Antibody or Antibody test, confirmed by reactive HIV-1/HIV-2 differentiation assay), excluding HIV vaccinated participants, or

* Virologic evidence of HIV-1 infection (positive qualitative HIV-1 RNA test or any detectable quantitative HIV-1 RNA test), or

* Evidence of acute HIV-1 infection (reactive p24 Antigen or positive qualitative or quantitative RNA, in the absence of reactive HIV-1 Antibody results)

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percent Change From Baseline in Hip Bone Mineral Density (BMD) at Week 48 in the Blinded PhaseBaseline, Week 48

Percent Change = Change from baseline at Week 48 visit/value at baseline \* 100%.

Percent Change From Baseline in Spine BMD at Week 48 in the Blinded PhaseBaseline, Week 48

Percent Change = Change from baseline at Week 48 visit/value at baseline \* 100%.

Change From Baseline in Serum Creatinine at Week 48 in the Blinded PhaseBaseline, Week 48
Incidence of HIV-1 Infection Per 100 PYWhen all participants have 96 weeks of follow-up after randomization or permanently discontinued from the study (maximum 157 weeks)

The incidence of HIV-1 infection rate per 100 PY was calculated as the number of participants who became HIV infected during the study after the first dose of study drug divided by the sum of all participants' years (where a year is 365.25 days) of follow-up while at risk of HIV infection during the study.

Percent Change From Baseline in Urine Retinol Binding Protein (RBP) to Creatinine Ratio at Week 48 in the Blinded PhaseBaseline, Week 48

Percent Change = Change from baseline at Week 48 visit/value at baseline \* 100%.

For urine creatinine, value of \< 1 was handled as a missing value in its summary and the calculation of related ratios.

Percent Change From Baseline in Urine Beta-2-Microglobulin to Creatinine Ratio at Week 48 in the Blinded PhaseBaseline, Week 48

Percent Change = Change from baseline at Week 48 visit/value at baseline \* 100%.

Percent Change = Change from baseline at Week 96 visit/value at baseline \* 100%.

For urine creatinine, value of \< 1 was handled as a missing value in its summary and the calculation of related ratios.
