The information on premastication (prechewing) as a complementary feeding practice in the United States is incomplete. Its extent among human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)–infected caregivers has never been studied.1 Alarmed by a report of 3 HIV-infected infants that discussed premastication as a potential route of transmission,2 we aimed to describe the prevalence of this feeding practice among HIV-infected mothers and their children attending the pediatric infectious diseases clinic at the Bronx-Lebanon Hospital Center, Bronx, New York, which serves an urban population with one of the highest HIV-infection prevalence rates in the United States.3
