• Severe hemophilia A, defined as less than (<) 1 international units per deciliter (IU/dL) (<1 percent [%]) endogenous FVIII at screening as determined by the one-stage clotting assay from the central laboratory. If the initial screening result was greater than or equal to (>=) 1%, then a repeat endogenous FVIII activity level was performed using the one stage clotting assay from the central laboratory. If the repeated result was < 1 IU/dL (<1%), then the participant met this inclusion requirement.

• A participant known to be human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody positive, either previously documented or identified from screening assessments, must have the following results prior to Day 1 Advate dose: cluster of differentiation 4 (CD4) lymphocyte count greater than (>) 200 cells/millimeter (mm)^3; viral load of <400 copies/mL.

Exclusion Criteria:

Medical History:

• Any concurrent clinically significant major disease that, in the opinion of the Investigator, made the participant unsuitable for enrollment.
• Serious active bacterial or viral infection (other than chronic hepatitis or HIV) present within 30 days of screening.
• Other known coagulation disorder(s) in addition to hemophilia A.
• History of hypersensitivity or anaphylaxis associated with any FVIII product.
