"My body my baby": a qualitative study examining drivers of infant-feeding choices among women living with HIV in Philadelphia, United States.
Article in AIDS care, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Before national guidelines related to infant feeding among people living with HIV (PLHIV) in the United States were changed in 2023, PLHIV were discouraged from breastfeeding due to the potential risk of perinatal HIV transmission. Potential health benefits to both mother and child coupled with the ability to mitigate HIV transmission risk with modern treatments now make feeding decisions more complex for PLHIV. This study examined personal and social determinants of feeding choice among PLHIV in the Philadelphia area just prior to the change in national guidelines. In 2022 and 2023, we conducted in-depth interviews with 28 PLHIV between the ages of 18-50 years old that had previously given birth, 22 while living with HIV. Participants who gave birth while living with HIV expressed that they had not been given the choice to breastfeed. When probed about how they would consider choice in a hypothetical future pregnancy in the new guidelines era, participants' own knowledge and beliefs about what was best for their babies and themselves were consistently raised as the most influential factors. They relied strongly on their health providers for up-to-date knowledge. Advice from partners, family, and community was considered less influential for most.
