MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: 1.To evaluate the antiretroviral activity following switch to Doravirine/Islatravir (DOR/ISL) compared to continued treatment with Bictegravir/Emtricitabine/Tenofovir Alafenamide (BIC/FTC/TAF) as assessed by the percentage of participants with Human Immunodeficiency Virus 1 (HIV-1) RNA =50 copies/mL at Week 48 2.To evaluate the safety and tolerability of switch to DOR/ISL compared to continued treatment with BIC/FTC/TAF as assessed by review of the accumulated safety data through Week 48;Secondary Objective: 1.

Week 48 2. Week 48 3. Week 48
