This study aims to assess and confirm the adequate immunogenicity and safety profile of the Sanofi Pasteur's DTaP-Hep B-IPV-PRP-T fully liquid combined hexavalent vaccine administered in HIV-exposed uninfected infants and in HIV-exposed infected infants. The primary objectives of the study are: * To evaluate the immunogenicity of the study vaccine 1 month after the 3-dose primary series in HIV-exposed infected and in HIV-exposed uninfected infants. * To describe the persistence of all antibodies before receipt of the booster dose in HIV-exposed infected and in HIV-exposed uninfected infants. * To evaluate the immunogenicity of the study vaccine 1 month after the booster dose in HIV-exposed infected and in HIV-exposed uninfected infants. The secondary objectives of the study are: * To describe the safety profile after each and all doses of the study vaccine administered as a 3-dose infant primary series in HIV-exposed infected and in HIV-exposed uninfected infants. * To describe the safety profile of the study vaccine administered as a booster in HIV-exposed infected and in HIV-exposed uninfected infants.

Exclusion Criteria: * Participation in another clinical trial of an investigational product in the 4 weeks preceding the trial inclusion (receipt of study vaccine) or planned participation during the present trial period in another clinical trial investigating a vaccine, drug, medical device, or medical procedure * Group A participants diagnosed with a chronic condition, except HIV infection, or any experience of blood or blood-derived products received or experience of thrombocytopenia or bleeding disorder; and Group B participants diagnosed with chronic illness or any experience of blood or blood-derived products received or experience of thrombocytopenia or bleeding disorder. * Previous vaccination against the diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, poliomyelitis (oral polio vaccine \[OPV\] given at birth does not constitute an exclusion criteria), hepatitis B (a birth dose of Hep B vaccine does not constitute an exclusion criteria) diseases or Hib infection with the trial vaccine or another vaccine. Previous vaccination with Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) is not considered an exclusion criterion * History of diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, poliomyelitis, hepatitis B, or Haemophilus influenzae type b infections (confirmed either clinically, serologically or microbiologically) * History of seizures or history of uncontrolled neurologic disorder or uncontrolled epilepsy until treatment for the condition has been established, the condition has stabilized and the benefit clearly outweighs the risk * Known systemic hypersensitivity to any of the vaccine components, or history of a life-threatening reaction to the vaccine(s) used in the trial or to a vaccine containing any of the same substances * Febrile (axillary temperature ≥ 38°C) or acute illness on the day of inclusion (temporary contraindication).
