HIV and Aids has become a major issue in our current society. With recent research showing that prevalence of the disease is rising by the day.One major concern, among others is the breast feeding of infants born to HIV infected mothers. With the main question being. To what extent is the HIV status of an infant born to a HIV infected mother affected through Breastfeeding?
My paper will propose that, the care of kids born to HIV infected mothers should be by the means of artificial breast milk. In a move to contain prevalence of the disease. It will also propose that, postnatal clinics should be given legal rights to make this judgment after conception of the new born. In order to avoid a case of mis-judgment by the mother. This mis-judgment may be caused due to exterior factors such as financial income. However, I will also state that HIV positive infected mothers should know better, than to have kids in the first place. This idea bringing into play, the importance of getting the world population to know their HIV status and helping them obtain advice accordingly.
My biggest problem may be, creating firm evidence that will ensure artificial post natal care will be given to children born to HIV infected mothers .My audience will be a highly educated lot, spanning from Doctors and Epidemiologists, to Smaller Health Workers alike.All working in both governmental and non-governmental institutions. Finally and most important of all, the mothers themselves, who are the band wagon of this system.

Like we discussed in class, this topic is problematic in that it is too complex and philosophical for the assignment. You will have a better persuasive argument if you choose an issue that is simpler and has clear-cut sides for and against it. You should consider using an alternative topic.
