The Kaplan-Meier estimate of the cumulative probability of virologic failure by week 96. Time to virologic failure was defined as the first time from study entry to the first of two consecutive HIV-1 RNA \>1000 copies/mL at or after week 16 and before week 24, or \>200 copies/mL at or after week 24. Week 16 is defined to occur between 14 (98 days) and 18 weeks (126 days) after study entry, week 24 is defined to occur between 22 (154 days) and 26 (182 days) after study entry, and week 96 is defined to occur between 88 (616 days) and 104 (728 days) after study entry.
The cumulative incidence of discontinuation for toxicity by week 96 was estimated using competing risks with treatment discontinuation for other reasons considered as a competing event; participants completing the study on the RAL or PI component of their randomized regimen were considered censored at the earliest of the date of last patient contact and off study date.
Participants who achieved/maintained confirmed HIV-1 RNA \< 400 c/mL had to satisfy the following criteria: 1) not experienced death, permanent study drug discontinuation, or addition of new antiretroviral drug except nevirapine in place of EFV prior to Week 48 visit; 2) achieved confirmed HIV-1 RNA \< 400 c/mL on 2 consecutive visits prior to Week 48 visit (ie, the first of the 2 consecutive HIV-1 RNA \< 400 c/mL occurred prior to the Week 48 visit; 3) not had confirmed HIV-1 RNA \> 400 c/mL after achievement of confirmed HIV RNA levels \< 400 c/mL prior to Week 48 visit.
Acceptability will be assessed by discontinuation of study product

This represents one of the indicators associated with the objective: Additional safety data regarding FTC/TDF (Truvada®) use among HIV-uninfected YMSM.
Behavioral disinhibition/risk compensation was assessed based on a number of questions, including the following related to unprotected sex from the participant ACASI: "Of these males \[male partners\], how many did you have unprotected oral or anal sex with since the last time you took this survey?" An event is defined as an answer of greater than 0. This represents one of the indicators associated with the objective: Additional safety data regarding FTC/TDF (Truvada®) use among HIV-uninfected YMSM.
Behavioral disinhibition/risk compensation was assessed based on a number of questions, including the following related to related to number of male sexual partners from the participant ACASI: "Since the last time you took this survey, how many male partners have you had sexual contact with (oral or anal)?" This represents one of the indicators associated with the objective: Additional safety data regarding FTC/TDF (Truvada®) use among HIV-uninfected YMSM.
This represents one of the indicators associated with the objective: Acceptability when YMSM are provided open label FTC/TDF (Truvada®) and information regarding the safety and efficacy of PrEP from prior studies. Acceptability of PrEP as measured by the acceptability assessment that includes questions on usability of PrEP, user-friendliness of the medication regimen, including an assessment of side effects and delivery format, and acceptability of behavioral intervention sessions.
This outcome addresses the objective: Rates of adherence and measured levels of drug exposure when YMSM are provided open label FTC/TDF (Truvada®) and information regarding the safety and efficacy of PrEP from prior studies. Medication adherence is estimated by factors including levels of drug exposure as measured by DBS red blood cell (RBC) samples. The TFV dosing level was translated into number of dosing days per week for week 8 onwards using lab estimates as follows: '\<2 days' is defined as \<350 (fmol/punch), '2 days' as 350 to 700 (fmol/punch), '4 days' as \>700 to 1250 (fmol/punch), and 'Daily' as \>1250 (fmol/punch). The TFV dosing level was translated into number of dosing days for week 4 using lab estimates as follows: '\<2 days' is defined as \<275 (fmol/punch), '2 days' as 275 to 525 (fmol/punch), '4 days' as \>525 to 950 (fmol/punch),and 'Daily' as \>950 (fmol/punch)
The participants will be considered in therapeutic success at Week 48 if they did not present any of the following events: * Plasma HIV-2 RNA load over or equal to 100 copies/mL, starting from Week 24 and confirmed within the next 4 weeks, * CD4 lymphocytes gain below 100/mm3 at Week 48 compared to the CD4 lymphocytes counts average between Week-4 and Week 0, * Raltegravir permanent discontinuation, * Death from any cause, * New B or C events confirmed by an endpoint review committee

| PCC | BEHAVIORAL | Personalized Cognitive Counseling (PCC) is based on the Model of Relapse Prevention and Gold's Self-Appraisal of Risk Behavior. PCC is a 1-hour, single-session, individual level intervention administered by a trained counselor in a clinic setting. Counselors ask the client to recall and describe a recent encounter of unprotected anal sex with another man of unknown or sero-discordant HIV status. The client then identifies and expresses thoughts, feelings, or attitudes that might have led to the high-risk behavior. The client and counselor examine and identify thoughts that may have led the client to decide to engage in high transmission risk sex. The client and counselor agree on strategies that can be used to deal with similar situations in the future. |

Emtricitabine is an investigational small molecule being studied for the treatment and prevention of HIV infection, including HIV-1 infection, and for hepatitis B virus. It is developed by Gilead Sciences, Inc. (GILD) and is currently in Phase 3 clinical development for these infectious disease indications.
Emtricitabine is a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor that works by blocking the reverse transcriptase enzyme, which HIV needs to replicate. This mechanism is based on its classification as a small molecule antiretroviral agent used in combination with other antiretroviral drugs for HIV treatment.
Emtricitabine is developed by Gilead Sciences, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company traded on NASDAQ under the ticker GILD. Gilead is conducting clinical trials to evaluate the drug's safety and efficacy in HIV-infected patients and for pre-exposure prophylaxis.
Emtricitabine is in Phase 3 clinical development. It has completed two Phase 3 trials, including a study of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate/emtricitabine/efavirenz versus Combivir/efavirenz in antiretroviral-naive HIV-1 infected subjects, and a comparative study of three NNRTI-sparing HAART regimens.
Emtricitabine has been studied in several completed clinical trials, including NCT00112047, a Phase 3 trial in 517 HIV-infected adults, and NCT00811954, a Phase 3 trial in 1814 participants. Additional Phase 2 trials include NCT00642291 in pediatric subjects and NCT01769456 in young men who have sex with men.
Emtricitabine is a component of the combination product emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (F/TDF), also known as Truvada. While emtricitabine is the single agent, F/TDF combines it with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate for enhanced antiretroviral activity.
