Summary

Researchers are looking for new medicines to prevent Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 (HIV-1) infection. HIV-1 is the most common type of HIV, which is a virus that attacks cells of the immune system. Medicines to prevent HIV-1 infection are called pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). Some people may have trouble following a PrEP plan because it involves either taking medicine everyday by mouth or getting injections (shots) often. MK-8527 is a study medicine designed to prevent HIV-1 infection. MK-8527 is different from standard (usual) PrEP because it is taken once a month, by mouth, as a tablet. The goal of this study is to learn if taking a higher-than-normal dose of MK-8527 increases the QT interval (a measure of heart rhythm) by a certain amount.
