Experimental: GS-7340 8mg
After Screening procedures, eligible subjects will be randomized 1:1:1:1:1 to receive either open-label GS-7340 8, 25, 40, or 120 mg (3 x 40 mg), or open-label TDF 300 mg for 28 days.

Drug: GS-7340
Subjects are randomized to receive one of four different doses of GS-7340 over 28 days of therapy. |
Experimental: GS-7340 25mg
After Screening procedures, eligible subjects will be randomized 1:1:1:1:1 to receive either open-label GS-7340 8, 25, 40, or 120 mg (3 x 40 mg), or open-label TDF 300 mg for 28 days.

- Change in serum hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA [ Time Frame: Up to Week 4 ]Time-weighted average change from baseline through Week 4 (DAVG4) in serum HBV DNA (log10 IU/mL) for GS-7340 8-, 25-, 40 and 120-mg.
- Change in HBV DNA for tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) [ Time Frame: Up to Week 4 ]Comparing the short-term antiviral activity of GS-7340 with TDF 300mg. This is measured by time-weighted average change from baseline through Week 4 (DAVG4) in serum HBV DNA (log10 IU/mL) for TDF.
- Change in HBV DNA of GS-7340 through 28 days of therapy [ Time Frame: Up to week 4 ]Time weighted change from baseline to day 29 (DAVG4) in serum HBV DNA (log10 IU/mL)
- Pharmacokinetics (PK) of GS-7340 and/or tenofovir (TVF) following single and multiple doses of GS-7340 and TDF [ Time Frame: Up to week 4 ]
GS-7340 and tenofovir (TFV) PK parameters in plasma will be calculated as applicable: Cmax, Tmax, Clast, Tlast, T1/2, λz, AUC0-t, AUC0-last, AUC0-∞, %AUCexp.
PK samples are collected on:
- Baseline/Day 1: 0 (predose), 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 hours post dose
- Additional predose plasma samples will be collected on Days 2, 5, 8, 10, 15, 19, 22, and 29/End of Treatment.
- Safety and Tolerability of Therapy [ Time Frame: Up to week 4 ]Safety and tolerability is measured by the incidence of adverse events and graded laboratory abnormalities
