ABSTRACT
The field of mother to child transmission of human-immunodeficiency
virus is rapidly evolving. In the United States, prevention focuses on
implementation of universal human-immunodeficiency virus testing to
assure compliance with recommended treatment regimens and infant-feeding
strategies. In most cases, this is the avoidance of all breastfeeding.
In developing countries, avoidance of breastfeeding places infants at
higher risk of morbidity and mortality. Current World Health
Organization recommendations require individualized counseling to
determine the best feeding method for each woman.
