A study led by the World Health Organization (WHO) in partnership with the French National Agency for Research on AIDS and Viral Hepatitis (ANRS), US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) of the National Institutes of Health, offers new insights and new hope for preventing HIV infection and death among infants in settings where many mothers with HIV infection breastfeed, despite the risks. The purpose of the study was to assess whether the risk of HIV transmission during breastfeeding could be safely reduced.
