Blinded Phase: LEN + Placebo-to-match (PTM) F/TDFOral Lenacapavir (LEN)Participants will receive the following for approximately 52 weeks: * Subcutaneous (SC) lenacapavir (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 Participants will receive oral LEN if SC injections are not available
LEN Open-Label Extension (OLE) PhaseOral Lenacapavir (LEN)Participants will be offered entry into the LEN OLE Phase, following the completion of primary analysis, if LEN demonstrates acceptable safety and efficacy in the Randomized Blinded Phase. Participants randomized to LEN will continue to receive SC LEN 927 mg, every 26 weeks (± 7 days), and have study visits every 13 weeks (± 7 days). Participants randomized to F/TDF will switch to SC LEN 927 mg on OLE Day 1, Week 26 and every 26 weeks thereafter. Participants will also receive oral LEN 600 mg on OLE Days 1 and 2. All participants in the LEN OLE Phase will complete the phase, once LEN becomes available or the sponsor decides to discontinue the study, whichever happens first. After completing the LEN OLE Phase or study discontinuation, participants will transition to local PrEP, including LEN or other options. If a participant exits early, they will complete an ESDD visit, be referred to local PrEP services if needed, and have a 30-day follow-up visit.
Blinded Phase: LEN + Placebo-to-match (PTM) F/TDFSub-cutaneous (SC) Lenacapavir (LEN)Participants will receive the following for approximately 52 weeks: * Subcutaneous (SC) lenacapavir (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 Participants will receive oral LEN if SC injections are not available

Blinded Phase: Placebo LEN + F/TDFF/TDFParticipants will receive the following for approximately 52 weeks: * SC LEN placebo every 26 weeks * Oral F/TDF 200/300 mg once daily * PTM Oral LEN on Days 1 and 2 Participants will receive oral LEN placebo if SC injections are not available
Blinded Phase: Placebo LEN + F/TDFPlacebo SC LENParticipants will receive the following for approximately 52 weeks: * SC LEN placebo every 26 weeks * Oral F/TDF 200/300 mg once daily * PTM Oral LEN on Days 1 and 2 Participants will receive oral LEN placebo if SC injections are not available

LEN Open-Label Extension (OLE) PhaseSub-cutaneous (SC) Lenacapavir (LEN)Participants will be offered entry into the LEN OLE Phase, following the completion of primary analysis, if LEN demonstrates acceptable safety and efficacy in the Randomized Blinded Phase. Participants randomized to LEN will continue to receive SC LEN 927 mg, every 26 weeks (± 7 days), and have study visits every 13 weeks (± 7 days).

If a participant exits early, they will complete an ESDD visit, be referred to local PrEP services if needed, and have a 30-day follow-up visit.
PK Tail PhaseF/TDFParticipants who prematurely discontinue study drug during blinded phase and participants that were randomized to LEN who choose not to continue in the LEN OLE Phase will transition to the PK Tail Phase. Participants will receive oral F/TDF (or Emtricitabine/Tenofovir Alafenamide (F/TAF) for US participants only) once daily for 78 weeks to cover the PK tail and complete visits every 13 weeks (+/- 7 days). Upon unblinding, participants who were randomized to F/TDF in the Randomized Blinded Phase who decline to participate in the LEN OLE Phase will complete the ESDD visit, transition to local HIV prevention services, and return for a 30-day follow-up visit.
PK Tail PhaseF/TAF (for US participants only)Participants who prematurely discontinue study drug during blinded phase and participants that were randomized to LEN who choose not to continue in the LEN OLE Phase will transition to the PK Tail Phase. Participants will receive oral F/TDF (or Emtricitabine/Tenofovir Alafenamide (F/TAF) for US participants only) once daily for 78 weeks to cover the PK tail and complete visits every 13 weeks (+/- 7 days). Upon unblinding, participants who were randomized to F/TDF in the Randomized Blinded Phase who decline to participate in the LEN OLE Phase will complete the ESDD visit, transition to local HIV prevention services, and return for a 30-day follow-up visit.
