Is it possible to vaccinate newborns whose mothers have positive serology for HIV?

If the mother is HIV positive, the newborn should first be tested for HIV: if the child tests negative for HIV at 5 weeks of birth, he/she can get vaccinated with BCG.
In the case of hepatitis B vaccine, whether the mother or the baby are positive for HIV, the newborn can safely receive this vaccine as soon as possible after birth.
