The response that is more appropiate is that breast-feeding is contraindicated.

Why is breastfeeding contraindicated when you have AIDS?

There are risks of transmission of AIDS through breastfeeding since it is a bodily fluid such as blood, semen or vaginal fluids that can transmit AIDS. The mother could breastfeed if she was taking anti-aids medication and it can be accompanied with an anti-aids treatment for the baby.

Although the risk of other diseases by not feeding the baby with breast milk is greater than the contagion of aids since breast milk contains substances that protect the baby's immune system.

Therefore, we can confirm that breast-feeding is contraindicated.
