Background Among infants, postnatal HIV transmission occurs via the oral route when ingesting breastmilk containing HI-virions (Kuhn et al., 2007). HIV acquisition via this route is however very low, possibly due to the presence of innate proteins in the oral secretions. Such innate proteins with an...
