HIV infection lies in DNA of the nucleus of the cell. Normally no cells pass from mother to fetus. There is layer of placenta to prevent this. But this barrier is broken during the delivery. There is mixing of blood from the mother and fetus. So your doctor will like to go for Caesarean section delivery in such case. She will give some drugs also to prevent the risk of HIV transmission.

HIV does not pass from mother to foetus during the pregnancy. Blood of mother and foetus is not get mixed in such cases. It can pass during the normal delivery, when the mother's blood can get mixed with the blood of foetus. That is why the delivery by operation is indicated in such cases. Your doctor will give you some medication to minimize the risk.

Why do scientists believe that women with HIV should not breast feed their children?

Breast milk is wonderful in that it imparts what the mother eats to her nursing baby. This is great when the mother is taking in good food and nutrition. Real bad when she has a disease such as HIV.
