About

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the single-dose Pharmacokinetic (PK) and bioequivalence of darunavir (DRV) in the presence of cobicistat (COBI) when administered as a scored fixed dose combination (FDC) tablet (DRV/COBI) compared to the co-administration as the separate available tablet formulations (DRV and COBI), under fed conditions in healthy participants.
