TL;DR: The frequency of breast milk transmission of HIV-1 was 16.2% in this randomized clinical trial, and the majority of infections occurred early during breastfeeding, which prevented 44% of infant infections and was associated with significantly improved HIV‐1‐free survival.

TL;DR: Most breast milk transmission occurred early, with 75% of the risk difference between the 2 arms occurring by 6 months, although transmission continued throughout the duration of exposure, and the use of breast milk substitutes prevented 44% of infant infections and was associated with significantly improved HIV-1-free survival.
