Secure Baby Health with Anti-HIV Vaccines
As far as your baby is concerned, you never know which type of diseases or illness you may have and it can be transmitted as far as breastfeeding these days. To bolster the immune system of your baby, it would be best to give them a complete line of vaccine shots, including an Anti-HIV regimen to safeguard them from potential HIV risk from mothers who breastfeed.
“In poor countries where sanitation is a problem, exclusive breastfeeding appears to confer the greatest benefits to infant health and survival, even in mothers with HIV” said Duane Alexander, director of the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, which sponsored two studies appearing in the online version of the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM).
“Extended treatment with nevirapine greatly reduces the chances that infants will be infected with HIV through breast milk,” he added. “The National Institutes of Health is now sponsoring additional studies to determine the most effective treatments to prevent the spread of HIV through breast milk.”
