Summary:

      The goal of this study is to determine if there is a difference in shedding (primary
      objective) and in immunogenicity and safety (secondary objectives) between HIV-positive and
      HIV-negative children and young adults who are receiving the quadrivalent live-attenuated
      influenza vaccine (QLAIV).
