OverviewThis publication is one of a series of HIV and infant feeding. It presents a summary of the available scientific evidence on the transmission of HIV infection through breastfeeding. It briefly describes the benefits of breastfeeding for both mothers and infants; and summarizes evidence on the relative risk of mother-to-child transmission of HIV-1 infection during pregnancy, delivery, and breastfeeding. The review then focuses on HIV-transmission through breastfeeding: rates, mechanisms, timing, risk factors and approaches for its prevention. The publication provides the evidence base and rationale for two additional documents in the revised HIV and infant feeding series; HIV and Infant Feeding. Guidelines for decision-makers (ISBN 92 4 159122 6) and HIV and Infant Feeding. A guide for health-care managers and supervisors (ISBN 92 4 159123 4).
