3 The Dilemma Approximately 200,000 infants become HIV infected each year through breastfeeding (WHO 2007) The Dilemma Infant Formula feeding reduces HIV transmission but is associated with increased mortality from other causes 3

4 A comprehensive decision analysis model If relative risk of mortality from not-breast-feeding is 1.5 (compared with breast-feeding) and HIV prevalence >10% universal breast-feeding would carry a mortality than non-breast feeding In developing countries RR is often 3 and even the child of a HIV infected mother has a better survival rate if breast-fed (Hu DJ et al, AIDS 1992;6: ) Formula-feeding can be safer than breast-feeding in a developing country setting Randomised Clinical Study Kenya 425 women Breast Formula Compliance 96 % 70% Exclusive Breast 3/12 56 % 6/ /12 HIV Positive 36.7% 20.5% p.001 Deaths 24.4% 20% p.3 HIV-Free Survival 58.0% 70% p.02 Nduati et al JAMA 2000, 283:

10 Breast or Infant Formula Milk HIV Mother-to-Child Transmission % T ra n s m is s io n s Max Min 0 None HAART + BF HAART + FF WHO revised (2009) recommendations 1. The 2009 recommendations provide two alternative options for women who are not on ART and breastfeed in resource-limited settings: 1) If a woman received AZT during pregnancy, daily nevirapine is recommended for her child from birth until the end of the breastfeeding period. OR 2) If a woman received a three-drug regimen during pregnancy, a continued regimen of triple therapy is recommended through the end of the breastfeeding period. 10

11 WHO revised (2009) recommendations 2. Mothers known to be HIV-infected (and whose infants are HIV uninfected or of unknown HIV status) should exclusively breastfeed their infants for the first 6 months of life, introducing appropriate complementary foods thereafter, and continue breastfeeding for the first 12 months of life. Breastfeeding should then only stop once a nutritionally adequate and safe diet without breast milk can be provided. WHO revised (2009) recommendations 3. Mothers known to be HIV-infected who decide to stop breastfeeding at any time should stop gradually within one month. Mothers or infants who have been receiving ARV prophylaxis should continue prophylaxis for one week after breastfeeding is fully stopped. Stopping breastfeeding abruptly is not advisable. 11

12 Very low risk of MTCT with interventions: UK & Ireland Data n = 5136 infants Managed according to BHIVA guidelines Transmission 1.1% overall 0.8% if maternal ART >14 days 0.1% if HAART and VL <50 (3/2202) 0% if ZDVm + PLCS (0/467) 95% CI 0.8% Townsend et al, AIDS 2008 Breast or Infant Formula Milk HIV Mother-to-Child Transmission 100 % T ra n s m is s io n s 10 1 Max Min 0.1 None HAART + BF HAART + FF 12

13 BHIVA/CHIVA guidance on infant feeding in the UK 2010 Exclusive formula-feeding recommended for all babies of mothers infected with HIV regardless of viral load & ART. All HIV positive mothers should be supported to formula feed their babies. The risk of mother-to-child transmission from a woman who is on HAART and has a consistently undetectable HIV viral load is likely to be low but is not negligible. Therefore, although formula feeding is still the best and safest option, if a woman is on effective HAART and has compelling reasons to breast feed, she should be supported to do so as safely, and for as short a period as possible. Prolonged infant prophylaxis with nevirapine during the breastfeeding period, as opposed to maternal HAART is not recommended.
