Infants born from a HIV positive mother and confirmed as HIV infected. Subjects received 3 primary doses (at 6, 10 & 14 weeks of age, at study Months 0, 1 and 2) and 1 booster dose of Synflorix™ vaccine (at 9 months of age, at study Month 8). Subjects in the group also received 3 primary vaccine doses (at 6, 10 & 14 weeks of age, at study Months 0, 1 and 2) and 1 booster vaccine dose (at 15-18 months of age, at study Month 14) of Tritanrix™-HepB/Hib, 2 vaccine doses of Rotarix™ (at 10 & 14 weeks of age, at study Months 1 and 2), and 2 doses of measles vaccine (9-10 months of age & 15-18 months of age, at study Months 8 and 14). Measles vaccine was not considered as a study vaccine. The Synflorix™ vaccine was administered intramuscularly in the right thigh, the Tritanrix™-HepB/Hib vaccine was administered IM in the left anterolateral thigh during the primary vaccination and in the left anterolateral thigh or left deltoid region during booster vaccination. Rotarix™ was given orally.
