Hello everyone. I am an LLL Leader and we have a mother in our Group whose sister-in-law is HIV-positive. She is also pregnant. She would like to breastfeed but has been told she can't because of her HIV+ status. The only info I have on the tranmission of the AIDS virus through breastmilk is in THE BREASTFEEDING ANSWER BOOK from LLL which was published in 1991. This information is probably dated. If anyone has any current information about this it would be greatly appreciated. TIA. Kim Balzer [log in to unmask]
