HIV positive mothers and breastfeeding

In communities where many mothers are HIV positive, it is believed that breastfeeding is not safe. But for HIV positive mothers who are being fully supported for ARV adherence, giving only breastmilk is the safest way to feed their baby.

The 100% Breastfed campaign aims to help new mothers and their families understand the benefits of breastfeeding (regardless of their income and social standing), and to create a supportive community that destigmatises the age-old practice of breastfeeding.

The 100% Breastfed campaign videos were created by Digital Medic South Africa, an initiative of the Stanford Centre for Health Education and the Stanford School of Medicine.
