Title: Breastfeeding And HIV/Aids
Description: "Research demonstrates that when HIV-infected women breastfeed, they double the risk of transmitting the virus to their children." "Formula feeding could prevent HIV transmission, but it must be made safe and affordable. Yet international health agencies are reluctant to launch formula feeding programs that could erase hard-won gains in breastfeeding." "In this timely, thoroughly researched study, a longtime breastfeeding advocate examines all sides of the problem and suggests some steps toward resolution."--BOOK JACKET.
