Exclusion Criteria:
Evidence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection was based on the results of testing at Screening for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), hepatitis B core antibody (anti-HBc), hepatitis B surface antibody (anti-HBs) and HBV deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) as follows:
Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) was ≥5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) or ALT was ≥3×ULN and bilirubin was ≥1.5×ULN (>35% direct bilirubin).
- Participants had estimated creatine clearance \<30 mL/min per 1.73 square meter (m\^2) using the refitted, race-neutral Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPIcr_R) method.
Participants living with HIV switched from Bictegravir/Emtricitabine/Tenofovir alafenamide (BIC/FTC/TAF) on Day 1 and received once daily dose of DTG/3TC FDC for 96 weeks. At Week 96, all participants switched to locally available DTG/3TC FDC or local standard of care (SOC) Antiretroviral Therapy (ART).

DTG/3TC FDC was administered once daily.
