Experimental: Cohort 1A Lenacapavir, Failing ARV Regimen, and OBR
Functional Monotherapy Period: Participants will receive oral lenacapavir 600 mg, 600mg, and 300 mg tablets on Days 1, 2, and 8 respectively while continuing their failing regimen (previous Antiretroviral (ARV) regimen). Maintenance Period: At Day 1 SC (14 days after the first dose of oral lenacapavir), participants will receive subcutaneous (SC) lenacapavir 927 mg and initiate an optimized background regimen (OBR) (as prescribed by the Investigator). Participants will continue to receive SC lenacapavir 927 mg once every 6 months (26 weeks). Participants willing to continue beyond the study beyond Week 52 visit will receive SC lenacapavir every 6 months (26 weeks) starting at Week 52 visit, while continuing their OBR. |
Drug: Oral Lenacapavir

Other Name: GS-6207 Drug: Failing ARV Regimen Failing antiretroviral regimen defined by the lack of efficacy. Any combination of approved and unapproved agents that could potentially be part of the failing regimen. Drug: Optimized Background Regimen (OBR) Optimized background regimen as prescribed by the Investigator |
Placebo Comparator: Cohort 1B: Placebo, Lenacapavir, Failing ARV Regimen, and OBR
Cohort 1B: Functional Monotherapy Period: Participants will receive placebo on Days 1, 2, and 8 while continuing their failing regimen. Maintenance Period: At Day 15, participants will receive oral lenacapavir 600 mg and initiate an OBR (as prescribed by the Investigator). Participants will receive oral lenacapavir 600 mg and 300 mg at Day 16 and Day 22, respectively. At Day 1 SC (14 days after the first dose of oral lenacapavir), participants will receive SC lenacapavir 927 mg while continuing their optimized background regimen. Participants will continue to receive SC lenacapavir 927 mg once every 6 months (26 weeks). Participants willing to continue beyond the study beyond Week 52 visit will receive SC lenacapavir every 6 months (26 weeks) starting at Week 52 visit, while continuing their OBR. |

Oral Lead-in Period: At Day 1, participants will receive oral lenacapavir 600 mg and initiate an OBR (as prescribed by the Investigator).
