Contributions:

      Dr. Hoque has demonstrated that a heating method as simple as heating the expressed breast milk in a pan over a stove to 65°C inhibited HIV-1 transmission  retaining milk’s nutritional key elements. This information is very helpful for HIV-positive mothers as the technique is simple, handy and cost-effective that HIV-positive mothers could apply easily, yet with more confidence, and popularity.
