There is very little danger of passing on HIV to your kids if they have stopped breast feeding. HIV is only passed on through having sex without a condom, or sharing dirty needles. Ordinary day to day living cannot pass on the virus. So kissing, hugging, sleeping in the same bed, feeding, drinking from the same cup, eating off the same fork are all perfectly safe.

Yes, although if one partner is HIV positive and the other is not, it is difficult to do without risking infection.

If the mother is HIV positive then anti-retroviral drugs are recommended to reduce the risk of transmitting the virus to the child, and breastfeeding is not recommended.

No. I have never heard of this happening.

Actually, I have heard that there is a medication that people can take throughout pregnancy that can decrease the virus from being transferred in utero. The baby should be delivered c-section so that none of the mothers' bodily fluid are inhaled.

Yes. A person infected with HIV is able to have children if their reproductive system is functioning properly.

With proper treatment, mother-to-child transmission of HIV is very rare. HIV+ individuals who are considering pregnancy should consult their HIV specialty medical provider about the best treatment options for HIV+ expecting mothers.

AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) is a diagnosis and not a disease. HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is the virus that causes someone to develop AIDS.

It is possible to transmit HIV from mother-to-child, however it can be prevented. Just because a woman is HIV+ it doesn't necessarily mean their children will be.

The same way as with anyone else. The problem is that the offspring will contract the virus if the mother is also infected. There is also the risk of infecting the mother during conception.
