Invite to Join WABA HIV and Infant Feeding Group
An open invite is extended by Ted Greiner to join The World Alliance for Breast-feeding Action (WABA) HIV and Infant Feeding Yahoo Group.

Members have access to a private website with numerous links to key UN and other documents on infant feeding and HIV, as well as unpublished and recently published full-text journal articles.
Anyone who wishes to join should email Ted Greiner email: tedgreiner@yahoo.com
