Subject:	JAMA HIV STUDY by Miotti

I haven't had the opportunity to read the actual study on HIV transmission
and breastfeeding by Miotti, but, according to the numbers in the abstract
at JAMA's website, there is a 7% transmission risk.  47/672 infants
contracted HIV during 2 yrs. of breastfeeding=6.99%.

Am I missing something?  Why does the abstract, and all of the press, state
a 10% risk?

Sincerely,
