Multi-disciplinary support of infant feeding choice for parents living with HIV: experience across a guideline change.

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
Introduction: Support for infant feeding choice for people living with HIV (PLWH) in the United States has changed, with national guidelines encouraging collaborative decision making to support infant feeding decisions in 2023. In 2020, our institution developed a multi-disciplinary approach supporting patient-centered infant feeding counseling. Our study's objective was to describe the outcomes and experiences of parents engaging with this model. Methods: Electronic records were reviewed for PLWH initiating Obstetric care between January 2020 and September 2025 in a maternal HIV program in Houston, Texas. Information regarding demographics, HIV care, participation in infant feeding support model, and feeding experiences was collected. Data was summarized using descriptive statistics. Results: 336 PLWH initiated care during the study period. 75 considered breastfeeding, 51 completed Pediatric Retrovirology consultation to discuss benefits/risks, and 37 breastfed. No HIV transmissions occurred with breastfeeding. Of the 37 parents who breastfed, 92% maintained undetectable viral loads throughout breastfeeding. Median duration of breastfeeding was 47 days. 69% of these parents reported challenges with breastfeeding contributing to premature weaning. Post-delivery retention in HIV care was a significant challenge for parents (only 38% attended two of their own HIV care visits within 1 year), compared to neonates attending 84%-92% of Pediatric Retrovirology appointments for routine postnatal monitoring. Discussion: Our institution observed increasing interest in breastfeeding for PLWH, especially since the update of US guidelines. Half of our cohort who expressed interest ultimately breastfeed, but significant challenges remain limiting duration of breastfeeding and retention in postpartum HIV care.
