* No previous diagnosis with inhibitors to Factor VIII at any detectable titer.
* Subjects must never have been diagnosed with nonspecific inhibitors of coagulation.
* Negative test for the presence of Factor VIII inhibitors at screening and enrollment.
* CD4 counts greater than or equal to 400 cells/µL.
* Vaccination against hepatitis A and hepatitis B, or evidence of antibodies against hepatitis A and hepatitis B. (A subject who has no prior immunity against hepatitis A will be offered a course of vaccination for hepatitis A).
