Baby has been exclusively breastfed from birth but introduced to solids after four months,can baby be given breastmilk & formula (mixfeed).mom is hiv on art?

CDC/AAP: The baby should be screened for HIV, and breastfeeding is not suggested unless donor milk is used. Many formulas closely approximate breast milk.
