Practices and recommendations in infant feeding and HIV prevention
Although the attainment of Millennium Development Goal 4 (MDG 4), reducing under-five mortality by two-thirds by the year 2015, depends on optimizing breast-feeding practices in resource-limited settings, there are some conditions in which breast-feeding is impossible, contraindicated, or not recommended. The overall impact of involuntary nonbreast-feeding on the attainment of MDG 4 has not been documented. In industrialized and many middle-incom…
Women's choices regarding HIV testing, disclosure and partner involvement in infant feeding and care in a rural district of Malawi with high HIV prevalence
The influence of HIV-related stigma on women's choices with regard to HIV testing, disclosure and partner involvement in infant feeding and care is not well understood in rural Malawi but may influence the risk of vertical HIV transmission and infant health. In a study of HIV-infected and -uninfected women in 20 rural locations in Zomba District, Malawi, mothers were questioned at 18-20 months post-partum about these issues. Ten per cent of women…
Uptake and outcomes of a prevention-of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) program in Zomba district, Malawi
This study shows low PMTCT program efficiency and effectiveness under routine program conditions in Malawi. HIV-free infant survival may have been influenced by key factors, including underuse of HAART, underuse of sd-NVP, and suboptimal infant feeding practices. Maternal mortality among HIV-infected women demands attention; improved maternal survival is a means to improve infant survival
