Far, far from my area of expertise or interest Val, but I had to comment on what a valuable answer you found for Francois by digging among your sources on the internet and posing some pertinent questions for the mom to ask. One of the truly great functions of Lactnet to permit an exchange like this! Our local university has a specialist in communicable diseases of all kinds (and I believe has quite a few HIV+ patients locally.) It would be great if the mom in France had someone with that expertise there to consult. Jean ************ K.
