Can a baby contract HIV through breast milk?!
Question: Yes, a baby can contract HIV through breast milk. About 1 out of 7 will get HIV through breastfeeding from an infected mother. If an HIV positive mother wants to breastfeed, her chances of passing it to the baby are greatly reduced if she takes certain AIDS drugs during later part of her pregnancy and during breastfeeding.
Why would an HIV positive mother choose to breastfeed you ask?... In Africa, where AIDS is so prevelent, the death rate is so high in babies that ARE NOT breastfed, that they stand a better chance of making it into adulthood if breastfed, even though the mother has AIDS.
