Primary Endpoints
• Area under the plasma concentration-time curve from the time of administration up to 24 hours post-dose of RPV, as derived from the intensive PK assessments.
• Incidence of grade 3/4 AEs, SAEs, HIV-related events (including acquired immune deficiency syndrome [AIDS]-defining illnesses and Stage-3-defining Opportunistic Illnesses in HIV Infection), and AEs leading to discontinuation of study intervention through 24 weeks of study treatment.

Secondary Endpoint
• Incidence and severity of AEs/HIV-related events and their relatedness to RPV through 24 and 48 weeks of study treatment.
