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.
