Breast milk is an antidote to mother to child transmission of the dreaded Human Immunodeficiency Virus/ Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (HIV/AIDS).
Mr. Shona County Chatterjee, a consultant in the Department of Health and Social Science, Concept College, London, who said this, described breastfeeding as an important element in the fight against the disease.
Chatterjee made the disclosure while delivering a lecture on Reproductive Health, and Youth Sexually Transmitted Infections and HIV/AIDS at the third International HIV/AIDS Interactive Session organised by Africalert Foundation at the Sheraton Hotel and Towers, Lagos.
