Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
<p>Compare the oral bioavailability of 3 concept pediatric formulations of TMC278<br /><br>(solution, suspension, granules) to that of the adult 25 mg Phase III tablet<br /><br>formulation. In addition, the absorption of TMC278 into the body will be<br /><br>compared when the pediatric formulations are administered on an empty stomach<br /><br>and after a breakfast. </p><br>

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
<p>The safety and tolerability of TMC278 different formulations during the study<br /><br>period to be assessed. Finally, the palatability of each concept pediatric<br /><br>formulation under fasted conditions will be evaluated.</p><br>
