Overview

These tools have been created to help health workers before, during and after a counselling session so that they can better support HIV-positive mothers.

Counsellors using the tools should have received specific training through such courses as the WHO/UNICEF Breastfeeding Counselling: A training course and the WHO/UNICEF/UNAIDS HIV and Infant Feeding Counselling: A training course, or the newly developed integrated infant and young child feeding counselling course. This latter course combines breastfeeding, complementary feeding and HIV and infant feeding counselling training.

The tools consist of the following parts:

  • Counselling cards (ISBN 92 4 159249 4) that describes the counselling process. Infant feeding counsellors should use the flipchart during counselling sessions with HIV-positive pregnant women and/or mothers. The cards need local adaptation to a) identify the most acceptable/feasible feeding options from 0 to 6 months, and b) identify the most suitable foods to cover nutrient requirements from 6 to 24 months.
  • Take-home flyers that explain how to practice safer infant feeding, according to the mother's decision. The counsellor should use the relevant flyer to teach the mother, and she can then use it as a reminder at home.
  • A Reference guide (ISBN 92 4 159301 6) that provides more technical and practical details than the counseling cards. Counsellors can use it as a handbook.
  • An Orientation guide (ISBN 92 4 159653 4) that suggests ways for health care managers to train infant feeding counsellors on how to use these tools.

HIV and Infant Feeding


Rapid advice: revised WHO principles and recommendations on infant feeding in the context of HIV – November 2009


Rapid advice: revised WHO principles and recommendations on infant feeding in the context of HIV – November 2009
Authors: World Health Organization
Number of pages: 28
Publication date: 2009
Languages: English
ISBN: 9789241598873


Overview

On 30 November, the eve of World AIDS Day, the WHO released new recommendations on treatment, prevention and infant feeding in the context of HIV, based on the latest scientific evidence.

The new recommendations call for earlier initiation of antiretroviral therapy (ART) for adults and adolescents, the delivery of more patient-friendly antiretroviral drugs (ARVs), and prolonged use of ARVs to reduce the risk of mother-to-child transmission of HIV. And, for the first time, WHO recommends that HIV-positive mothers or their infants take ARVs while breastfeeding to prevent transmission.
