  • Identification of essential components for a rights-based policy response.

    • Main Results:

    • Voluntary, confidential testing and counseling are key actions.
    • Objective information on risks and costs of all feeding options is necessary.
    • The Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative and International Code of Marketing are vital.
    • Exclusive breastfeeding shows protective effects, warranting further research.
    • Exclusive breastfeeding needs to be made more accessible and common for mothers who choose it.

    Conclusions:

    • A human rights-based approach is essential for infant feeding in the HIV pandemic.
    • Support for informed decision-making empowers HIV-positive mothers.
    • Continued research on nevirapine and exclusive breastfeeding is needed.
