Issue Date: | 7-Feb-2022 | Publisher: | SAGE Publications | Series/Report no.: | Nutrition and Metabolic Insights .; | Abstract: | The increased coverage of prevention of mother to child transmission (PMTCT) services has significantly reduced paediatric HIV infection incidence. The aim of the study was to compare breast milk omega-6 and omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid profiles of HIV infected and uninfected mothers and determine the association between fatty acid profiles and postnatal transmission of HIV, morbidity/mortality of HIV exposed and unexposed infants. | URI: | doi: 10.1177/11786388211072768. http://hdl.handle.net/11408/5154 |
