Assessment of Infant Feeding Practice Among HIV Positive Mothers and HIV Status of Their Infants in Adama Hospital, Oromia Regional State, Ethiopia, 2016

Abstract: Background: Vertical transmission is Human immunodeficiency virus transmission from a human immunodeficiency virus-positive mother to her child during pregnancy, labour, delivery or breastfeeding. In the absence of an intervention during these times, rates of Human immunodeficiency virus transmission from mother-to-child can be between 15-45%.Objective: To assess the infant Feeding Practice of human immunodeficiency virus positive mothers and examine Human immunodeficiency virus status of their infants.

“…As expected, this study affirmed that infants born to HIV positive mothers who were not exclusively breast fed (who had MF/ERF) during their first 6 months were three times at greater risk of acquiring HIV than their counterparts who had only breastfed in their first 6 months. This is consistent with the study from Cameroon [ 24 ] and studies from different parts of Ethiopia [ 10 , 11 , 13 , 14 ]. This could be because mixed feeding is associated with gastrointestinal ulceration secondary to diarrheal disease.…”

“…Regarding the complementary feeding practices, in the current study, 87.3%; 95% CI: 83.2%—90.7%) of infants were on BF with CF; 5.7% (95% CI: 3.5%-8.8%) were on RF with CF while 6.9% (95%CI: 4.5%-10.2%) of infants were weaned off BF immediately after six months of life. The finding is higher than the studies reported from Adama, Ethiopia were (72%) [ 10 ] of infants started their complementary feeding at the age after 6 months. The mean (SD) of infants’ breast-feeding weaning time is 49.4 ± 16 weeks (12 ± 4 months).…”

“…With the concomitant use of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) prophylaxis in breastfeeding mothers, the risk of MTCT has significantly reduced [6,7]. In the context of maternal HIV infection, the benefits of breastfeeding are weighed against its risk of HIV transmission and that of replacement feeding with its cost, risk of infectious morbidity and mortality from diarrhoeal disease and malnutrition [8][9][10]. The effectiveness of antiretroviral therapy prompted the recommendation by World Health Organization (WHO) that HIV infected mothers should continue to breastfeed their infants until 12 months of age [11].…”
