Thanks for getting in touch.
Because your viral load is undetectable, you cannot transmit HIV through sexual intercourse. Please see here for more info:

Advice on breastfeeding can be different depending on which country you are in. This is why it is uimportant to talk to your doctor or clinic about this.
In countries where care in based on World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines, breastfeeding is recommended as the best way to feed your baby when viral load is undetectable.
