It isn't. Well, not technically. There is a lot of HIV that gets transferred because of the transfer of bodily fluids from mother to child. This includes blood during childbirth as well as subsequent breast feeding.

But it is not inherited as a predisposition to cancer or heart disease would be genetically.
