The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a regimen containing cobicistat-boosted atazanavir (ATV+COBI) plus emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (Truvada®; FTC/TDF) fixed-dose combination (FDC) versus ritonavir-boosted atazanavir (ATV+RTV) plus FTC/TDF FDC in HIV-1 infected, antiretroviral treatment-naive adults.
Participants will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio. Randomization will be stratified by HIV-1 RNA level (≤ 100,000 copies/mL or > 100,000 copies/mL) at screening.

- Percentage of Participants With HIV-1 RNA < 50 Copies/mL at Week 48 [ Time Frame: Week 48 ]The percentage of participants with HIV-1 RNA < 50 copies/mL at Week 48 was analyzed using the snapshot algorithm, which defines a participant's virologic response status using only the viral load at the prespecified time point within an allowed window of time, along with study drug discontinuation status.
- Percentage of Participants With HIV-1 RNA < 50 Copies/mL at Week 96 [ Time Frame: Week 96 ]The percentage of participants with HIV-1 RNA < 50 copies/mL at Week 96 was analyzed using the snapshot algorithm.
- Percentage of Participants With HIV-1 RNA < 50 Copies/mL at Week 144 [ Time Frame: Week 144 ]The percentage of participants with HIV-1 RNA < 50 copies/mL at Week 144 was analyzed using the snapshot algorithm.
- Percentage of Participants With HIV-1 RNA < 50 Copies/mL at Week 192 [ Time Frame: Week 192 ]The percentage of participants with HIV-1 RNA < 50 copies/mL at Week 192 was analyzed using the snapshot algorithm.
- Change From Baseline in CD4 Cell Count at Week 48 [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 48 ]
- Change From Baseline in CD4 Cell Count at Week 96 [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 96 ]
- Change From Baseline in CD4 Cell Count at Week 144 [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 144 ]
- Change From Baseline in CD4 Cell Count at Week 192 [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 192 ]
