The primary objectives of this study are to evaluate the safety, tolerability and steady-state PK and confirm the dose of EVG/r in HIV-1 infected, antiretroviral treatment-experienced children 4 weeks to \<18 years of age. The study consists of 2 parts: Part A and Part B. Part A will enroll participants with suppressed viremia (HIV-1 RNA \< 50 copies/mL) or failing a current antiretroviral (ARV) regimen (HIV-1 RNA \> 1,000 copies/mL only for participants in Cohort 2, Part A) to evaluate the steady state PK and confirm the dose of EVG. Part B will enroll participants who are failing a current ARV regimen (HIV-1 RNA \> 1,000 copies/mL) to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and antiviral activity of EVG. The study consists of 4 age cohorts with each cohort including 2 parts (Part A and Part B) with the exception of the adolescent age cohort (Cohort 1: 12 to \< 18 years old) containing Part B only.

Pharmacokinetic (PK) Parameter: AUCtau of EVG
AUCtau is defined as concentration of drug over time (the area under the concentration verses time curve over the dosing interval).
Time frame: Predose and up to 12 hours postdose on Day 10
Pharmacokinetic (PK) Parameter: Cmax of EVG at Day 10
Cmax is defined as the maximum concentration of drug.
Time frame: Predose and up to 12 hours postdose on Day 10
Percentage of Participants Experiencing Treatment-emergent Adverse Events
Time frame: Baseline up to the last dose date plus 30 days (maximum exposure: 173.6 weeks for participants age 6 to < 18 Years Screening HIV-1 RNA > 1000 copies/mL and 2.0 weeks for participants age 6 to < 12 Years Screening HIV-1 RNA < 50 copies/mL)
Percentage of Participants Experiencing Laboratory Abnormalities
Treatment-emergent laboratory abnormalities were defined as values that increase at least one toxicity grade from baseline. The most severe graded abnormality from all tests was counted for each subject. The criteria used to grade laboratory results were as follows: Grade 1 (mild), Grade 2 (moderate), Grade 3 (severe), and Grade 4 (life-threatening).
Time frame: Baseline up to the last dose date plus 30 days (maximum exposure: 173.6 weeks for participants age 6 to < 18 Years Screening HIV-1 RNA > 1000 copies/mL and 2.0 weeks for participants age 6 to < 12 Years Screening HIV-1 RNA < 50 copies/mL)
Pharmacokinetic (PK) Parameter: Ctau of EVG
Ctau is defined as the observed drug concentration at the end of the dosing interval.
Time frame: Predose and up to 12 hours postdose on Day 10
Pharmacokinetic (PK) Parameter: CL/F of EVG
CL/F is defined as the apparent oral clearance following administration of the drug.
Time frame: Predose and up to 12 hours postdose on Day 10
Pharmacokinetic (PK) Parameter: Vz/F of EVG
Vz/F is defined as the apparent volume of distribution of the drug.
Time frame: Predose and up to 12 hours postdose on Day 10
Percentage of Participants With HIV-1 RNA < 50 Copies/mL at Week 24 as Defined by the FDA Snapshot Algorithm
The percentage of participants achieving HIV-1 RNA \< 50 copies/mL at Week 24 was analyzed using the snapshot algorithm, which defines a participant's virologic response status using only the viral load at the predefined time point within an allowed window of time, along with study drug discontinuation status.
Time frame: Week 24
Percentage of Participants With HIV-1 RNA < 50 Copies/mL at Week 48 as Defined by the FDA Snapshot Algorithm
The percentage of participants achieving 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 predefined time point within an allowed window of time, along with study drug discontinuation status.
Time frame: Week 48
Percentage of Participants With Plasma HIV-1 RNA < 400 Copies/mL at Week 24 as Defined by the FDA Snapshot Algorithm
The percentage of participants achieving HIV-1 RNA \< 400 copies/mL at Week 24 was analyzed using the snapshot algorithm, which defines a participant's virologic response status using only the viral load at the predefined time point within an allowed window of time, along with study drug discontinuation status.
Time frame: Week 24

Tanner Stage Evaluation by Sex at Week 24
Tanner Stage (pubic hair and breasts for females; pubic hair and genitalia for males) at Week 24 visit was summarized using frequency count and percentage. Tanner Stages is a scale that defines physical measurements of development based on external primary and secondary sex characteristics. It was used in this study to assess pubertal development with values ranging from Stage 1 (pre-pubertal characteristics) to Stage 5 (adult or mature characteristics).
