Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Be able to understand and comply with protocol requirements, instructions, and restrictions; Understand the long-term commitment to the study and be likely to complete the study as planned; Be considered appropriate candidates for participation in an investigative clinical trial with oral and intramuscularly injectable medications . Aged 18 years or older (or =19 where required by local regulatory agencies), at the time of signing the informed consent. A female participant is eligible to participate if she is not pregnant (as confirmed by a negative serum human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) test at screen and a negative urine hCG test at Randomization), not lactating, and at least one of the following conditions applies: a. Non-reproductive potential defined as: •Pre-menopausal females with one of the following: •Documented tubal ligation •Documented hysteroscopic tubal occlusion procedure with follow-up confirmation of bilateral tubal occlusion •Hysterectomy •Documented Bilateral Oophorectomy •Postmenopausal defined as 12 months of spontaneous amenorrhea [in questionable cases a blood sample with simultaneous follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and estradiol levels consistent with menopause (refer to laboratory reference ranges for confirmatory levels)]. Females on hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and whose menopausal status is in doubt will be required to use one of the highly effective contraception methods if they wish to continue their HRT during the study. Otherwise, they must discontinue HRT to allow confirmation of post-menopausal status prior to study enrolment. b. Reproductive potential and agrees to follow one of the options listed in the Modified List of Highly Effective Methods for Avoiding Pregnancy in Females of Reproductive Potential (FRP) from 30 days prior to the first dose of study medication, throughout the study, for at least 30 days after discontinuation of all oral study medications, and for at least 52 weeks after discontinuation of CAB LA and RPV LA The investigator is responsible for ensuring that participants understand how properly use these methods of contraception. Capable of giving signed informed consent, which includes compliance with the requirements and restrictions listed in the consent form and in this protocol. Eligible participants or their legal guardians (and next of kin when locally required), must sign a written Informed Consent Form before any protocol-specified assessments are conducted. Enrolment of participants who are unable to provide direct informed consent is optional and will be based on local legal/regulatory requirements and site feasibility to conduct protocol procedures. Participants enrolled in France must be affiliated to, or a beneficiary of, a social security category. Must be on the uninterrupted current regimen of BIK for at least 6 months prior to Screening with an undetectable HIV-1 viral load for at least 6 months prior to Screening. Only a single prior INI regimen is allowed if BIK is a second line regimen 6 months prior to screening. Any prior change in regimen, defined as a change of a single drug or multiple drugs simultaneously, must have occurred due to tolerability/safety, access to medications, or convenience/simplification, and must NOT have been done for treatment failure (HIV-1 RNA =400 c/mL). Only a single prior INI regimen is permitted with the following limited exceptions: •A change from TDF to TAF will not be considered a regimen c

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Within 6 months prior to Screening, any plasma HIV-1 RNA measurement =50 c/mL. Within the 6 to 12-month window prior to Screening, any plasma HIV-1 RNA measurement >200 c/mL, or 2 or more plasma HIV-1 RNA measurements =50 c/mL. NOTE: This statement does not apply to study participants who started treatment within the 6 to 12-month window prior to screening. History of prior treatment failure to any DHHS recommended ART regimen. History of drug holiday >1 month for any reason prior to Screening visit, except where all ART was stopped due to tolerability and/or safety concerns. Any change to a second line regimen, defined as change of a single drug or multiple drugs simultaneously, due to virologic failure to therapy (defined as a confirmed plasma HIV 1 RNA measurement =200 c/mL after initial suppression to <50 c/mL while on first line HIV therapy regimen). Participants who are currently participating in or anticipate being selected for any other interventional study. Women who are pregnant, breastfeeding or plan to become pregnant or breastfeed during the study. Any evidence of a current Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Stage 3 disease [CDC, 2014], except cutaneous Kaposi’s sarcoma not requiring systemic therapy, and CD4+ counts <200 cells/µL are not exclusionary. Participants with moderate to severe hepatic impairment. Any pre-existing physical or mental condition (including substance use disorder) which, in the opinion of the Investigator, 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. Participants determined by the Investigator to have a high risk of seizures, including participants with an unstable or poorly controlled seizure disorder. 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. All participants will be screened for syphilis. •Participants with untreated secondary (late latent) or tertiary syphilis infection, defined as a positive RPR and a positive treponemal test without clear documentation of treatment, are excluded. •Participants with a false positive RPR (with negative treponemal test) or serofast RPR result (persistence of a reactive nontreponemal syphilis test despite history of adequate therapy and no evidence of re-exposure) may enroll after consultation with the Medical Monitor. •Participants with primary syphilis or early latent secondary syphilis (acquired within the preceding year) who have a positive RPR test and have not been treated may be treated during the screening period and if completion of antibiotic treatment occurs during the screening period, may be allowed entry after consultation with the Medical Monitor. If antibiotic treatment cannot be completed before the screening window ends, subjects may be rescreened once following completion of antibiotic therapy for primary or early latent secondary syphilis. Participants who, in the investigator's judgment, pose a significant suicide risk. Participant’s recent history of suicidal behavior and/or suicidal ideation should be considered when evaluating for suicide risk. The participant has a tattoo, gluteal implant/enhancements or other dermatological condition overlying the gluteus region which may interfere with in
