Navigating the New Breastfeeding Recommendations for HIV Patients

As of January 2023, the breastfeeding guidelines for HIV patients were updated, and they now recommend supporting the parent’s choice through shared decision-making. Joining Dr. Charles Turck to share what these new guidelines look like in practice and key counseling strategies for HIV patients is Dr. William Short. Dr. Short is an Associate Professor of Medicine and Infectious Disease at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, and he also spoke about this exact topic at the 2023 ANAC conference in his session, titled “New Recommendations for Infant Feeding for Persons with HIV in the United States.”
