• Participants who are overtly healthy as determined by medical evaluation.
• A participant with a clinical abnormality or laboratory parameters which is/are not specifically listed in the inclusion or exclusion criteria, outside the reference range for the population being studied may be included if the investigator determines and documents that the finding is unlikely to introduce additional risk factors and will not interfere with the study procedures.
• Participants who are negative on two consecutive tests for Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), performed at Screening and within 5 days of admission to the Phase I unit, using an approved molecular test (Polymerase chain reaction [PCR]).
• Body weight more than or equal to (>=)40 kilogram (kg) and body mass index (BMI) within the range 18 to 32 kilogram per square meter (kg/m^2).
• Male participants are eligible to participate if they agree to use contraceptive methods and refrain from donating sperm.
• A female participant is eligible to participate if she is not pregnant or breastfeeding, and at least one of the following conditions applies: Is not a woman of childbearing potential (WOCBP) or is a WOCBP and using a contraceptive method that is highly effective, with a failure rate of less than (<)1 percent(%).
• Capable of giving signed informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Signs and symptoms which in the opinion of the investigator are suggestive of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) (that is [i.e.] fever, cough etc) within 14 days of inpatient admission.
• Contact with known COVID-19 positive person/s in the 14 days prior to inpatient admission.
• History or presence of/significant history of or current cardiovascular, respiratory, hepatic, renal, gastrointestinal, endocrine, hematological, or neurological disorders capable of significantly altering the absorption, metabolism, or elimination of drugs; constituting a risk when taking the study intervention or interfering with the interpretation of data.
• Abnormal blood pressure as determined by the investigator.
• Alanine transaminase (ALT) more than (>)1.5 times upper limit of normal (ULN).
• Bilirubin >1.5 times ULN (isolated bilirubin >1.5 times ULN is acceptable if bilirubin is fractionated and direct bilirubin <35%).
• Current or chronic history of liver disease, or known hepatic or biliary abnormalities (with the exception of Gilbert's syndrome or asymptomatic gallstones).
• Corrected QT interval (QTc) >450 milliseconds (msec).
• A known hypersensitivity to hyaluronidases (Cohort 4h only).
• The participant has an underlying skin disease or disorder (infection, inflammation, dermatitis, eczema, drug rash, drug allergy, psoriasis, food allergy, urticaria) that would interfere with assessment of injection sites.
• Current or anticipated need for chronic anti-coagulation with the exception of the use of low dose acetylsalicylic acid (less than or equal to [<=]325 mg) or hereditary coagulation and platelet disorders such as hemophilia or Von Willebrand Disease.
• Participants considered to have insufficient musculature to allow safe administration of CAB 400 mg/mL (gluteus medius or vastus lateralis).
• History of ongoing or clinically relevant seizure disorder within the previous 2 years, including participants who have required treatment for seizures within this time period.
• History of or on-going high-risk behaviors that may put the participant at increased risk for Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) acquisition in the opinion of the investigator. This includes participants in HIV discordant relationships, or men who report current or prior unprotected anal sex with other men and those reporting prior or current injecting drug use.
• Participation in another concurrent clinical study or prior clinical study (with the exception of imaging trials) prior to the first dosing day in the current study: 30 days, 5 half-lives or twice the duration of the biological effect of the investigational product (whichever is longer).
• Participation in the study would result in loss of blood or blood products in excess of 500 mL within 56 days.
• The participant has participated in a clinical trial and has received an investigational product within the following time period prior to the first dosing day in the current study: 30 days, 5 half-lives or twice the duration of the biological effect of the investigational product (whichever is longer).
• Exposure to more than four new chemical entities within 12 months prior to the first dosing day.
• Presence of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), or positive hepatitis C antibody test result at screening or within 3 months prior to first dose of study treatment.
• A positive pre-study drug/alcohol screen.

• Exclusion criteria for screening electrocardiogram (ECG):

  1. Heart rate: For Males <45 or >100 beats per minute (bpm), for females <50 or >100 bpm.
  2. PR Interval: For males and females <120 or >220 msec.
  3. QRS duration: For males and females <70 or >120 msec.
  4. QT duration corrected for heart rate by Fridericia's formula (QTcF) interval: For males and females >450 msec.
• Evidence of previous myocardial infarction.
• Any conduction abnormality (including but not specific to left or right complete bundle branch block, atrioventricular [AV] block [2nd degree or higher], Wolff-Parkinson-White [WPW] syndrome).
• Sinus Pauses >3 seconds.
• Any significant arrhythmia which, in the opinion of the Investigator or GlaxoSmithKline (GSK)/ViiV Medical monitor, will interfere with the safety for the individual participant.
• Non-sustained or sustained ventricular tachycardia (>=3 consecutive ventricular ectopic beats).
• Positive HIV antibody/antigen test. Participants will be advised regarding safer sex. In the event a participant acquires HIV during the course of the study they will be required to withdraw from the study and will be referred urgently to an HIV treatment center for further management.
• Regular use of known drugs of abuse.
• Regular use of tobacco- or nicotine-containing products within 3 months prior to screening.
• History of sensitivity to any of the study medications, or components thereof or a history of drug or other allergy.
