• Known history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection

• Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations (e.g., drug addiction) that would limit compliance with study requirements
