Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of the study is to learn what happens to levels of MK-7602 in a healthy person's body over time. Researchers will compare what happens to MK-7602 in the body when it is given with or without another medicine called efavirenz, and when it is given with or without a meal.
