Having children
Breastfeeding
Recent research has found that if the mother is on HIV antiretroviral treatment and has an undetectable viral load, the risk of HIV transmission through breastmilk is very low.

That means in developing countries without a safe water supply, the World Health Organization recommends that HIV-positive women breastfeed if they can access antiretroviral treatments.
