Balancing adverse outcomes in breastfed and non-breastfed infants. Panel A - When effective antiretroviral drugs are not provided, abstinence from breastfeeding or early weaning may result in no benefit for HIV-free survival, i.e., number of extra uninfected deaths caused = number of HIV infections prevented. Panel B - When effective antiretroviral drugs are provided, abstinence from breastfeeding or early weaning results in worse outcomes, i.e., number of extra uninfected deaths (in black outline) caused > number of HIV infections (in red outline) prevented.
