It is demonstrated that Breit and negative-energy state contributions reduce the 2.5 sigma deviation [S.C. Bennett and C.E. Wieman, Phys. Rev. Lett. 82, 2484 (1999)] in the value of the weak charge of 133Cs from the Standard Model prediction to 1.7sigma. The corrections are obtained in the relativistic many-body perturbation theory by combining all-order Coulomb and second-order Breit contributions. The corrections to parity-nonconserving amplitudes amount to 0.6% in 133Cs and 1.1% in 223Fr. The relevant magnetic-dipole hyperfine structure constants are modified at the level of 0.3% in Cs, and 0.6% in Fr. Electric-dipole matrix elements are affected at 0.1% level in Cs and a few 0.1% in Fr.
