Page "Human breast milk" Paragraph 2

According to a report by msnbc. com released online on Saturday, June 30, 2012, human breast milk may have the ability to act against, and to possibly kill, HIV ( the human immunodeficiency virus ), the virus that ultimately causes AIDS ( Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome ).

The study was carried out at the University of North Carolina Center for Infectious Diseases and the University of North Carolina Center for AIDS Research, but will need to be replicated in other clinical and laboratory studies at other institutions, such as other hospitals and universities, to be considered as admissible scientific evidence, not least because a claim that a bodily fluid can kill the AIDS virus would be considered a scientific novelty and breakthrough of large proportions ( human breast milk can also transmit the virus ).
