TL;DR
EBF may substantially reduce breastfeeding-associated HIV transmission, and early mixed breastfeeding was associated with a greater PNT risk at 6, 12, and 18 months, compared with EBF.

Late postnatal transmission contributes substantially to overall mother-to-child transmission of HIV-1 and is associated with a lower maternal CD4(+) cell count and male sex, and interventions to decrease transmission through breast-feeding are urgently needed.

Exclusively breast-fed infants tended to have fewer skin infections during the initial months of life and older infants who continued to breast-feed had fewer infections than those who did not, and none of the results could be explained by differences in the socioeconomic status of the infants' families.
