Treating HIV: Hiv patients are now treated to the point that their virus is suppressed and kept suppressed. Even in the poorest regions of the world this treatment is effectively keeping babies safe. I am sure, if you have hiv, that you have a good health care advisor. If you do not yet have an expert to assist you with HIV treatment you can get one here: http://www.Aahivm.Org.

Yes: The minimal risk when a patient is well treated is not to the point BF is ever considered proper in this country. Only in the 3rd world, where a babies risk of dying from dysentery triggered by tainted water would BF be considered a better choice.This is thoroughly discussed in the recommendations of the CDC.
