The wetnurse was 7 mos pregnant with her first child when she began
breastfeeding this child. Gap junctions wide open, which could certainly
increase virus transmission, and the baby had no IgG antibodies to HIV
at birth, as mom was HIV negative. I can't imagine he got sufficient
milk from a primip during late pregnancy either, so he might have been
mixed fed as well, increasing his risk.
