The purpose of this document is to review and consolidate existing information on postpartum transmission of HlV-1 through breast-feeding and to suggest additional studies to clarify the risks associated with breast-feeding. In almost all instances of such feeding, seroconversion in the mothers seems to have occurred after delivery, with subsequent infection of their children. in nine of the moth-ers, seroconversion occurred after postpartum blood transfusions. One mother was an intravenous drug user, and the remaining 12 were assumed to have acquired HIV-1 through heterosexual transmission. The presumptive mode Of maternal-infant transmission in these cases was breast-feeding, although the possibility that some of the women had been infected before delivery could not be ruled out. The presence of HIV-1 virus in human milk has been demonstrated, but it has also been demonstrated that not all infected women excrete viruses in their milk, and that viruses may be shed intermittently, The majority of breast-fed infants born to HV-1 seropositive women remain uninfected. If HlV-1 is present in the milk of a high percentage of seropositive women, factors present either in the milk or in the infant must diminish the risk of transmission through breast feeding. Human milk includes a number of components that could reduce the infectivity of HIV-1 (eg, immunoglobulins, leukocytes, lactoferrin, and lysozymes). The risk of HIV-1 transmission associated with Oral exposure to virus appears to be very low. Several investi-
