@chetan-prakash In patients with fulminant hepatic failure due to hepatitis A virus (HAV), survival rates are greater than 50-60%. These patients account for a substantial proportion (10-20%) of the pediatric liver transplants in some countries despite the relatively mild infection that is observed in many children infected with HAV. The outcome for patients with fulminant hepatic failure due to other causes of viral hepatitis is much less favorable.

RE: Can HIV be transmitted through breastfeeding?
@aex Yes, HIV is a virus that attacks the body’s immune system and is spread through certain fluids like breastmilk. HIV transmission from mother to infant mostly occurs in utero, breastfeeding contributes to the risk of perinatal HIV infection. Perinatal transmission can occur during pregnancy, birth, or breastfeeding. The best way to prevent transmission of HIV to an infant through breast milk is to not breastfeed.
