Diane, I would probably look for donor milk for my baby, if I were HIV+. Having seen what that nasty little beastie does to children, I would not want to pass it on... If we were able to test for infection, not maternal IgG antibodies in infants, I would breastfeed an HIV+ child, but not an HIV- one. I can't imagine feeding the alternative stuff to a child of mine, it would be a situation for much mourning. Thanks for bringing up this interesting situation.
