In the current study majority of infants 76.6% were
exclusive breast fed, 15.6% infants were exclusively
formula fed and 10.5% infants were on mixed
feeding, in contrast to what was reported in
developed countries6-8 and in Cameroon35 exclusive
breast feeding was found to be more protective than
exclusive formula feeding this discrepancy might
show that the exclusive formula feeding in the
current study did not match to AFASS (Acceptable,
Feasible, Affordable, Sustainable, Safe) criteria
according to WHO recommendations.40
Other factors that persistently associated with late
infant infection or death, maternal CD4 less than
350 cells/ cube mm and short duration of maternal
antiretroviral regimen, factors like low birth weight
were, regimen type were associated in crude
analysis but were not significant in adjusted hazard
ratio some of these factors were also reported as
risk factor in retrospective study conducted in
Cameroon
