<< If, heaven forbid, I were HIV+, I would choose the risks of formula over
breastfeeding and would feel I was doing the best I could by my child. >>
while I certianly do not wish this decision on anyone I think that the
reseach is inconclusive at best of transfer through bm while transplacental
transfer has been shown... I think if known HIV+ then maybe one should not
bring a child into the world.
