An HIV+ mom can definitely have HIV- babies. She is encouraged to take some medications during her pregnancy to help prevent the baby from developing the disease and she is commonly asked to have a Cesarian section delivery as opposed to a vaginal delivery to help prevent the baby from coming in contact with the mom's blood. The only real requirement is that the mom not breastfeed after the baby is born, since the virus is present in breast milk.

∙ 15y agoYes, but there's considerable risk that the baby will be born HIV-positive too. You've got to ask yourself if it's fair for a chronically sick mom to have a baby that runs a high risk of ending up chronically sick too.

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. When a baby nurses from her HIV positive mother there is a very high chance that the baby will contract this disease. Having a disease such as HIV is one of the few reasons a mother should not breast feed.

If you are HIV positive can you do tubal reversal?
You might have trouble getting someone to perform the operation. It's not life saving and it will put the operating staff at greater risk than for a patient that's not HIV positive. You should also consider the risk of transferring HIV to the baby, that is not something you'd want your baby to start out with.
