Effect of Breastfeeding and Formula Feeding on Transmission of HIV-1: A Randomized Clinical Trial

Article Abstract:

Pregnant women who are HIV-infected should consider giving their newborn baby infant formula rather than breastfeeding it. In a study of 401 HIV-infected women who gave birth, 212 breastfed the baby and 213 bottle fed the baby. Of the babies who were breastfed, 16% developed HIV infection. In 44%, viral transmission in breast milk was the cause of the infection. Most of the risk (75%) occurred in the first 6 months.

Morbidity and mortality in breastfed and formula-fed infants of HIV-1-infected women: A randomized clinical trial. (ORIGINAL CONTRIBUTION)

Article Abstract:

HIV-infected women in developing countries should be encouraged to use infant formula provided a clean source of water is available to prepare it. This will reduce the risk of the mother transmitting the virus to her baby in breast milk.

High Maternal HIV-1 viral load during pregnancy is associated with reduced placental transfer of measles IgG antibody

Article Abstract:

A study hypothesized that women with advanced HIV-1 infection would have the greatest reductions in transplacental transfer of measles IgG. High maternal HIV-1-specific Gp41 antibody titer was highly correlated with both decreased placental transfer, decreased infant IgG.
