Breastfeeding and HIV
Copyright policy )Breastfeeding and HIV
Breastfeeding is a route of HIV transmission from an HIV-infected mother to her infant. However, breastfeeding is an important pillar of child survival and the ideal way of feeding an infant, as well as providing a unique biological and emotional basis for child development. This chapter will highlight the dilemma created by the risks and benefits of breastfeeding and will discuss factors which increase the risk of HIV transmission during breastfeeding, as well as strategies which could be employed to reduce these risks. The research agenda is very full as many questions still remain unanswered.
