A Woman-Centered Approach to Infant Feeding and HIV: US & Canadian Providers in Discussion Part I of II

What do we know about lactational HIV transmission? How do women living with HIV balance the societal pressure to breastfeed while reducing/eliminating HIV transmission? What’s a possible harm-reduction approach that can be applied to infant feeding options for women living with HIV?

Join our panel for a discussion on the science and data behind breastfeeding, practical discussions women living with HIV have with their providers across the United States and Canada, and resources to support women and their providers with achieving zero HIV transmissions.

Participants will:

  • Review current data on breastfeeding & HIV transmission
  • Identify reasons why a woman living with HIV might consider breastfeeding
  • Discuss a woman centered approach to infant feeding counseling in the setting of HIV

We will end with a Question & Answer session along with an overview of how your health department can get free assistance on building capacity in high impact HIV prevention. We encourage everyone to follow along and ask questions on Twitter using the hashtag #SFHarmReduc.
