Abstract

We assessed breastfeeding outcomes for a cohort of infants born to women living with HIV (WLHIV) at an urban health care center in the United States. Ten infants were exclusively breastfed for a mean duration of 4.4 (1.0-8.6) months. All had negative HIV RNA PCRs at a median age of 16 months.
