In the absence of interventions to reduce mother-to-child transmission (MTCT), studies show that between 25% and 45% of HIV-infected breast-feeding women pass the virus to their infants. The rate of HIV transmission through breast-milk ranges from 12% to 26%, depending on the duration of breastfeeding, the time since HIV infection and the presence of mastitis or other systemic infections. HIV can be transmitted through breast-feeding at any time, although there is evidence that the risk is greater earlier. Twenty-five to 30% of HIVinfected infants die by 12 months of age, and about 66% (one-half to two-thirds) die by their fifth birthday.
