>there are cases where HIV
transmission is known to have occurred through breastfeeding; cases where
baby was negative after birth, then converted later on.) Since we don't
know which infants are infected (accurate testing can be done at 1 month of
age<
Jennifer, are there documented cases of transmission via breastfeeding using
the newer accurate tests? I know there are some older examples. In some of
these cases I had understood that other factors we now might consider
significant (blood transfusion before donor screening) might have played a
role. If there are recent examples written up, with clear discussion of
what else was controled for, this would be really helpful to know about.
Many thanks
