1 study
HIV-positive mothers, fathers, grandmothers and the larger community need clear, consistent, non-contradictory and nonjudgmental counseling on infant feeding practices. Health care providers need training based on accurate information. Studies found that health care providers gave HIV-positive women conflicting information and that simplified structured counseling tools are needed. Studies found that women reported that providers accused them of killing their infants if they breastfed. Women lack access to infant formula but have been told by providers that it is the only way for their infant to survive. Women were told that breastfeeding is a mode of HIV transmission and exclusive breastfeeding is a mode of prevention. Women fear HIV more than diarrheal disease, even though more deaths occur from diarrheal disease. Women were not given choices. Women did not give providers accurate information on how they were feeding their infant for fear of being denied health care. Women were told to feed their infants formula yet did not have adequate food support, most mothers could not do so with few having an income and most with no access to safe drinking water. Women lacked autonomy to decide infant feeding, which was decided by male partners or grandmothers. "Despite the current WHO recommendations to use extended infant prophylaxis as long as the infant is breastfed, no data are yet available from a clinical trial to confirm effectiveness and safety of this regimen beyond the first six months postpartum" (Taha, 2011: 919).
