Could donor milk offer HIV-exposed babies a safer alternative to formula?
NCT ID NCT06955715
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This pilot study tests whether pasteurized donor human milk (PDHM) is a practical feeding option for infants born to mothers living with HIV. Ten families in Saskatchewan will try PDHM as a supplement to breastfeeding or formula, and researchers will track how often it's used and any feeding issues. The goal is to learn about the challenges and benefits of using donor milk outside the hospital, so future programs can make it more widely available.
