Scientists have developed a protective agent against infection with HIV infant feeding

American scientists from the University of Cambridge have developed a simple protective device for nipple feeding mothers to prevent transmission of the HIV virus to child during feeding, reports BBC.One of the developers of a chemical engineer Stephen Gerrard helped create a protective device that is capable of disinfecting breast milk when nursing.The device uses the detergent used by biochemists to denature proteins for analysis.The device was a layer of cotton wool soaked in the chemical, which deactivates the virus.This treatment destroys the virus without the need for heat treatment.This development was presented at an international meeting on new developments in the U.S..Other scientists have proposed a device that heats the nipple lactating mother, and thus disinfects milk, but experts say it will take longer, and many moms will inconvenience in use.Therefore, the protection in the form of cotton wool soaked in a special way, is a non-toxic and does not take too much time making it more user-friendly, experts say.
