Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
* To evaluate the steady state pharmacokinetics (PK) of doravirine (DOR) \[MK-1439\] when given in combination with 2 nucleoside/nucleotide analog reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) or as part of the fixed-dose combination (FDC) of DOR/lamivudine (3TC)/tenofovir disproxil fumarate (TDF) in participants ≥6 to \<12 years and weighing ≥14 to \<45 kg.
* To evaluate the safety and tolerability of DOR when given with 2 NRTIs or as part of the FDC of DOR/3TC/TDF, in participants ≥6 to 12 years and weighing ≥14 to \<45 kg, through Week 24.

Doravirine as a single entity plus 2 NRTIs or Doravirine as a FDC with 3TC and TDF
Participants receive doravirine (DOR) at 7.2 mg to 100 mg, based on weight, PLUS 2 nucleoside/nucleotide analog reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs), based on local label, for 96 weeks, OR a fixed-dose combination (FDC) of doravirine/lamivudine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (DOR/3TC/TDF), based on weight, for 96 weeks.

Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria
* Has appropriate treatment history defined as treatment-naïve (TN) or with documented virologic suppression (HIV-1 ribonucleic acid \[RNA\] \<50 copies/mL) on stable combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) for ≥3 months
