I don't understand how anyone can give the numbers for breastmilk transmission
of HIV with confidence. All those babies were born to mother's with HIV, and
had pre and intra natal exposure (unless the infection developed
postnatally).So it seems like they would have to extrapolate the data
comparing breast fed and artificially fed babies born to HIV+ moms.
Anyway it doesn't seem like very clean data.
