Brief summary

This study will assess the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of elvitegravir/cobicistat/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (E/C/F/TAF) fixed-dose combination (FDC) in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/hepatitis B virus (HBV) coinfected adults. Participants will be enrolled into two cohorts: * Cohort 1: HIV/HBV coinfected adults who are HIV treatment-naive and HBV treatment-naive * Cohort 2: HIV/HBV coinfected adults who are HIV-suppressed

Interventions
