Breast feeding can prevent HIV infection transmission

William Paxton and Colleagues from University of Amsterdam has found that Breast feeding milk helps to prevent transmission of HIV infection to child. Though it is well// known that Mother to child transmission of HIV accounts for a large proportion of HIV infections in children, with many infected as a result of breastfeeding, which requires transfer of the virus across mucosal barriers. These r...
