Is a woman knowingly getting pregnant and giving birth to a baby while hiv+ considered unethical?

Why?: As i understand it, current retroviral treatments can make HIV levels undetectable in some individuals and prevent transmission to the baby. If would be a concern if the mother were not getting appropriate HIV treatment and prenatal care.
