As someone going into a medical profession, this women seems like an amazing representative of the HIV + community and is really helping break down the stigma surrounding this condition. With the modern medicines we have, and are still improving on, although HIV can not be cured completely, undetectable=untransmissible. It seems like she is taking every precaution to take care of herself and her family and is being a positive role model in the process, so good for her!

When I was just 15 I helped take care of my Uncle Scott while he was dying from AIDS. This was before medicines came out to save lives. I m so thankful that beautiful families like yours exist today because of the medical miracles they ve created in retrovirals! As a momma I understand completely that wanting to breastfeed is extremely important for our babies health and well being! I m so happy for you! Thank you so much for sharing your amazing story!

It isn't about her keeping the babies and raising her babies that people are judging her. It's about the fact she knows there is a 1% chance and she still took that chance every day for 7 months. As a mother we make choices for the well being of our children and to me even 1% is too high of a percentage for me to make a choice like that. It does seem very selfish.

I'm blown away that people who are HIV positive can now take medicine to the point that they can breastfeed their child. Every single argument she presented is logical, AND with formula shortages and untrustworthy formula to start with (I heard of recalls, I'm fully on board with this.

I know that you can't get it through milk, but by blood and bodily fluids. So, in saying that, what if she has a cut or rawness and he has a cut in his mouth since he is a toddler. And a boy. If he's like a lot of boys, they can be rough playing. So, how does that 1% protect you?

I think there is still a lot of education that needs to be shared about HIV/AIDS. With education, it will be less stigmatized. I admit, I didn't know one with HIV can go on medication that will prevent spread at such a high percentage! I wish her and her family the best

Soo I read as long as the mother continues taking the medication, the risk for transmission is low. Personally I wouldn t do it but as long as baby is healthy and constantly checked by doctor, I guess it s okay?
I don t know I m still conflicted

Learn the REAL TRUTH about HIV and AID by watching DAVID RASNICK's. Saputo interviewed David Rasnick, PhD on HIV and AIDS video. HIV is a totally harmless, non-transmissible retro virus! The world has been & continues to be LIED TO!

She further explained that in available studies, the risk of transmission through breastfeeding was around 1% IMO, 1% is a significant risk. What surprises me most is that it's legal to breastfeed in those circumstances.

The percentage of it occurring considering it's my child is too high of a risk for me. Just to experience breastfeeding would not be worth It. However to each their own, I just don't think it's right.

Breaking stigma and risks from breastfeeding are separate issues. If there is risk when you breast feed then there is a risk. That s not stigma it s a risk. Very different

This is wonderful. I am a former worker at a Ryan White agency. Incorrect information is too rampant. HIV is not a death sentence and does not make the person who they are.

She's taking a risk, albeit a small one, with her daughter's health. Just because she wants to experience breastfeeding. It is absolutely a selfish thing to do.

Hiv is not aids people need to stop judging cause your not a judge it's her life let her live, she's sharing her story and being vulnerable about all this.

Called selfish, and I absolutely agree. Even when the risk is just 1%, it s still a risk. Why would you do that to your child? Very selfish woman indeed.

If she could carry her daughter and not transmit HIV, then there's no reason she shouldn't have breastfed. Educate yourself before you judge

Wonderful mom and wonderful family. Her son is so eloquent and understanding. While I hate she has it, I'm glad she's breaking the stigma.
