A member asked:

What are the percent chances of infecting a baby with hiv through breastfeeding.?

Good: If you have hiv, are untreated and have a high viral load, the chances of transmission are present. Percentages are only good for populations and scientific studies, because getting a potentially fatal disease is 100% for those who get it. Listen to your doctor.
