Due to safety concerns related to viral activation, development of a secondary malignancy, as well as the potential for increased treatment related toxicity, eligible participants must not have evidence of chronic HIV infection at screening
11.Negative hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and core antibody (HBcAb) tests, or positive total HBcAb test followed by a negative hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA test at screening.
