HIV and Infant Feeding Rapid advice: revised WHO principles and recommendations on infant feeding in the context of HIV – November 2009 Authors: World Health Organization Number of pages: 28 Publication date: 2009 Languages: English ISBN: 9789241598873 Overview On 30 November, the eve of World AIDS Day, the WHO released new recommendations on treatment, prevention and infant feeding in the context of HIV, based on the latest scientific evidence. The new recommendations call for earlier initiation of antiretroviral therapy (ART) for adults and adolescents, the delivery of more patient-friendly antiretroviral drugs (ARVs), and prolonged use of ARVs to reduce the risk of mother-to-child transmission of HIV. And, for the first time, WHO recommends that HIV-positive mothers or their infants take ARVs while breastfeeding to prevent transmission.
