Overview of the Research Series
This monthly educational series is an exploration of the science of human lactation which aims to deepen understanding and explain our shared clinical observations. We look forward to showcasing researchers who have made it their lives’ work to contribute to an ever-growing foundation of science that will ultimately strengthen the roles that breastfeeding and human lactation play in the health of the lactating parent, child and family.
About the Webinar
Please join us for a special 2 hour learning experience on HIV and lactation in the USA. Although the current US Centers for Disease Control recommends against breastfeeding while living with HIV, there is growing evidence that there are circumstances when it is safe for parents living with HIV to breastfeed or chestfeed. We will share stories and experiences of lactating parents in the USA living with HIV, and the challenges they face within their medical communities. We will also describe documented inequity of care, including criminalization, that lactating parents living with HIV face based on race/ethnicity. We will wrap up with recent research evidence that demonstrates safety of direct infant feeding for parents living with HIV, how this could influence US public policy, and means of support that physicians can provide for lactating parents living with HIV.
