4. Evidence of active Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection.

   • Participants positive for HBsAg or HBV DNA are excluded.
   • Participants negative for anti-HBs but positive for anti-HBc (negative HBsAg status) and positive for HBV DNA are excluded.

5. Unstable liver disease, known biliary abnormalities (with the exception of Gilbert's syndrome or asymptomatic gallstones).

6. History of clinically relevant hepatitis within last 6 months.

7. Known history of liver cirrhosis with or without viral hepatitis co-infection.

8. Participants with Hepatitis C virus (HCV) co-infection will be allowed entry into this study if:

   • Liver enzymes meet entry criteria.

   • HCV Disease has undergone appropriate work-up, and is not advanced, and will not require treatment prior to the primary endpoint (e.g., Month 13).

   • In the event that recent biopsy or imaging data is not available or inconclusive, the Fibrosis 4 (Fib-4) score will be used to verify eligibility:

     i. Fib-4 score greater than (>) 3.25 is exclusionary. ii. Fib-4 scores 1.45 - 3.25 requires Medical Monitor consultation. Fibrosis 4 score Formula: (Age x AST) / (Platelets x (sqr [ ALT]) It is approved by the Medical Monitor.

9. Estimated glomerular filtration rate of <30 mL/min/1.73 m^2 via CKD-EPIcr_R (2021) method.

10. Any acute laboratory abnormality at Screening, which, in the opinion of the investigator, would preclude the participant's participation in the study of an investigational compound.

11. Any verified Grade 4 laboratory abnormality, with the exception of Grade 4 [triglycerides or lipid abnormalities].

12. Participants determined by the Investigator to have a high risk of seizures, A participant with a prior history of seizure may be considered for enrolment if the Investigator believes the risk of seizure recurrence is low. All cases of prior seizure history should be discussed with the Medical Monitor prior to enrolment.

13. Participant is currently participating in or has participated in a study with a compound or device that is not commercially available within 30 days of signing informed consent, unless permission from the Medical Monitor is granted.

14. Presence of any history of allergy/sensitivity to any of the study drug.

15. Inflammatory skin conditions that compromise the safety of IM injections, per the discretion of the investigator.

16. Participant has an implant/enhancement (including fillers) at the area of proposed injection (e.g., gluteus medius); or tattoo or other dermatological condition overlying the area for IM (e.g., gluteus medius) or any other area which may significantly interfere with interpretation of injection site reactions.

17. Current or anticipated need for chronic anti-coagulants or active coagulopathy (primary or iatrogenic) which would contraindicate IM injection.

18. Ongoing or clinically relevant pancreatitis.

19. Clinically significant cardiovascular disease or history of clinically significant cardiovascular disease.

20. All participants will be screened for STIs (e.g., chlamydia, gonorrhea, trichomoniasis, syphilis). Participants with untreated infections are excluded. Participants may be rescreened at least 24 hours after completion of STI treatment.

21. History or presence of sensitivity to any of the study medications or their components or drugs of their class, or a history of drug or other allergy that, in the opinion of the investigator or Medical Monitor, contraindicates their participation. In addition, if heparin is used during PK sampling, subjects with a history of sensitivity to heparin or heparin-induced thrombocytopenia should not be enrolled.

22. Ongoing uncontrolled malignancy is excluded, whereas participants who have controlled localized malignancies may be included on agreement between the investigator and the Medical Monitor.

23. Participants who in the investigator's judgment, poses a significant suicidality risk.

24. Any pre-existing physical or mental condition (including substance abuse disorder) which, in the opinion of the Investigator or the medical monitor, may interfere with the participant's ability to comply with the dosing schedule and/or protocol evaluations or which may compromise the safety of the participant.

25. Any condition which, in the opinion of the Investigator or the medical monitor, may interfere with the absorption, distribution, metabolism or excretion of the study drugs or render the participant unable to receive IM medication.

Exceptions for non-interventional studies may be made if appropriate after consultation with the Medical Monitor.

31. Anticipated need for HCV therapy with interferon or any drugs that have potential for adverse drug:drug interactions with study treatment throughout the entire study period.

32. Treatment with an HIV-1 preventive vaccine within 90 days of Screening.

33. Participant is unlikely to adhere to the study procedures, keep appointments, is planning to relocate during the study, or remain on study through to its conclusion.

34. Participants who are considered high-risk, meeting at least one of the following criteria:

    • Participant who has exchanged condomless sex for goods or money within the past 12 months prior to Screening.
