From the reviews:“The purpose is to convey recent information about HIV-1 transmission by breastfeeding, the virology and immunology around breastfeeding … and the public health implications of policy recommendations and research on HIV-infected women. … The book is most appropriate for academic researchers and clinicians, but some sections that are summaries of the known data would be relevant for general practitioners and medical residents. … I would recommend this as an excellent resource for what is known about the field of HIV-1 and breastfeeding.” (Natalie M. Neu, Doody’s Review Service, September, 2012)
