Breastfeeding and HIV

 

 

      Researchers concluded that HIV-exposed and HIV-positive infants might need the protective immunities and nutrition provided by breastfeeding more than non-exposed infants. Mortality risk was also associated with early breastfeeding cessation in HIV-positive infants.

  In Kampala, Uganda, researchers found an association between breastfeeding cessation and serious cases of gastroenteritis among HIV-exposed infants. In the study, rates of serious gastroenteritis risk doubled from the breastfeeding period until three months post-weaning compared with rates from another trial of breastfeeding infants with no abrupt cessation. Infant deaths rose significantly within the three months after breastfeeding cessation. All deaths were in the post-weaning period; survival were reported in the breastfeeding period.
