There is also this recent (2010) publication from WHO/UNICEF :http://whqlibdoc.who.int/publications/2010/9789241599535_eng.pdf You’ll find the answer on page 8 (item 6). You can word search the PDF document for “mastitis” and you will reach that page.

If this is the case, is this because the risk of passing HIV on to the infant increases during a bout of mastitis because the HIV load increases but also the intercellular spaces between lactocytes increase? Is she able to provide the EBM to her baby once it has been heat treated? If so, how exactly must it be heat treated?> > Many thanks> > Warm regards> Kam> Cert.
