Any evidence of heart block is exclusionary. Any evidence of left or right bundle branch block is exclusionary Note: Retesting for abnormal QTc interval value that may lead to exclusion will be allowed once without prior approval from the Sponsor. Retesting may take place during an unscheduled visit in the screening phase. Participants with a normal value at retest may be included
* Participants must be healthy on the basis of a medical evaluation that reveals the absence of any clinically relevant abnormality and includes a physical examination, medical history, vital signs, and the results of blood chemistry, blood coagulation and hematology tests, and a urinalysis performed at screening

* In the Investigator's opinion, the participant is able to understand and comply with protocol requirements, instructions, and study restrictions and is likely to complete the study as planned
* Participant must sign a separate if he or she agrees to provide an optional deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) sample for research. Refusal to give consent for the optional DNA research sample does not exclude a participant from participation in the study

EXCLUSION CRITERIA Any potential participant who meets any of the following criteria will be excluded from participating in the study

* Participants with a past history of cardiac arrhythmias (for example, extrasystoli, tachycardia at rest), history of risk factors for Torsade de Pointes syndrome (for example, hypokalemia, family history of long QT Syndrome) or history or other clinical evidence of significant or unstable cardiac disease (for example, angina, congestive heart failure, myocardial infarction, diastolic dysfunction, significant arrhythmia, coronary heart disease, and/or clinically significant ECG abnormalities), moderate to severe valvular disease or uncontrolled hypertension at screening. Any evidence of heart block or bundle branch block is also exclusionary
* Participants with any current or previous illness that, in the opinion of the Investigator, might confound the results of the study or pose an additional risk in administering study drug to the participant or that could prevent, limit, or confound the protocol specified assessments. This may include but is not limited to renal dysfunction (estimated creatinine clearance below 60 milliliter per minute [mL/min] at screening, calculated by the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease [MDRD] formula [Poggio 2005]), significant cardiac, vascular, pulmonary, gastrointestinal (such as significant diarrhea, gastric stasis, or constipation that in the Investigator's opinion could influence drug absorption or bioavailability), endocrine, neurologic, ophthalmic, hematologic, rheumatologic, psychiatric, neoplastic, or metabolic disturbances. Any condition possibly affecting drug absorption (for example, gastrectomy or other significant gastrointestinal tract surgery, such as gastroenterostomy, small bowel resection, or active enterostomy) will also lead to exclusion
* Participants with any history of clinically significant skin disease such as, but not limited to, dermatitis, eczema, drug rash, psoriasis, food allergy, and urticaria

* Participants having received an investigational agent or investigational vaccine or used an invasive investigational medical device within 12 weeks, or having received a biological product within 12 weeks or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) prior to the first dosing of study drugs
* Participants participating in another clinical or medical interventional research study
* Participants with a) Greater than or equal to (>=) Grade 1 laboratory abnormalities at screening as defined by the Division of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (DAIDS) Toxicity Grading Scale; or b) Total bilirubin outside the normal range Note: Retesting of abnormal laboratory values that may lead to exclusion will be allowed once without prior asking approval from the Sponsor. Retesting will take place during an unscheduled visit in the screening phase. Participants with a normal value at retest may be included
* Participants who had major surgery (for example, requiring general anesthesia) within 12 weeks before screening, or will not have fully recovered from surgery, or has surgery planned during the time the participant is expected to participate in the study, or within 12 weeks after the last dose of study drug Note: Participants with planned surgical procedures to be conducted under local anesthesia may participate
* Participant is an employee of the Sponsor, the Investigator or study site, with direct involvement in the proposed study or other studies under the direction of that Investigator or study site, as well as family members of the employees or the investigator NOTE: Investigators should ensure that all study enrollment criteria have been met at screening. If a participant's clinical status changes (including any available laboratory results or receipt of additional medical records) after screening but before the first dose of study drug is given or before the follow-up period, such that he or she no longer meets all eligibility criteria, then the participant should be excluded from participation in the study
