GSK1349572 Exposure in Blood, Seminal Fluid, and Rectal Fluid and Tissue in Healthy Male Subjects

The purpose of this study is to describe drug concentrations in blood plasma, rectal fluid, rectal tissue, and seminal fluid in HIV negative men following single and multiple doses of an investigational HIV medication known as GSK1349572 (dolutegravir).

The purpose of this study is to determine first dose and steady-state concentrations of GSK1349572 in seminal fluid, rectal mucosal fluid, and rectal tissue compared to blood plasma (BP) in HIV-1 negative males. GSK1349572 is an investigational next generation integrase inhibitor currently in Phase III trials. Understanding the concentrations of GSK1349572 in multiple male biological compartments will inform its role in preventing HIV infection by making an HIV-infected person less likely to transmit the virus, and protecting uninfected persons from acquiring the virus.

* Treatment with an investigational drug within 4 months preceding the first dose of trial medication.
* Participated in a rectal biopsy study in the 12 months preceding the first dose of trial medication.
* Use of clinically significant prescription or non-prescription drugs within 7 days (or 14 days if the drug is a potential enzyme inducer) or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) prior to the first dose of study medication
