Hi

I know there are not many female posters here so I thought I would break the silence in your thread to at least post to say welcome to the forum and congratulations on the pregnancy.

Recently there was a similar thread and prehaps this will yield some insights for you as well. https://forums.poz.com/index.php?topic=66366.msg726788

Wishing you all the best

Jim

Hello,

I have two beautiful children, both born hiv Negative. I was told both times not to breast feed them because  there is always a possibility that the blood may come out with the milk and that you’re all the juices may contain the virus. I didn’t want to take the chance of infecting my babies so I formula feed. My son is now 11 and my daughter is 9. Both Heathy and doing very well. Hope this helps
