Résumé :
|
Background and objective: Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) continues to be a global public health issue and reducing mother-to-child transmission is an important strategy in reducing the prevalence of HIV. Divergent infant feeding guidance exists for women living with HIV; women from lower-income countries are advised to breastfeed their infants, while women living in higher-income countries are advised to formula-feed. In lower-income countries studies show low rates of transmission among mothers who adhere to antiretroviral therapy (ART), however for those in higher-income countries, long-standing breastfeeding avoidance advice has left a gap in the literature. The author set out to identify what the current issues are for mothers living with HIV in a higher-income country such as the UK.
