Do you have much support?<\/p>\n<p>May I ask if you are taking treatment? This is best way to stop transmission if you are breastfeeding. Treatment is also the only way to keep yourself healthy.<\/p>\n<p>It is good you baby tested negative so far. Your baby will likely have another test fairly soon to confirm their status as HIV testing is a little different for babies.<\/p>\n<p>Whether to breastfeed or use formula feed for you baby depends on the recommendations in your country. It is best not to mix feeding types though and you should only use formula feed if you can access to clean water, bottles and enough food. I am not sure about supplementing onto hard food, this is best checked with your doctor.\u00a0 I am sorry your husband is suggesting a change, can you access any maternal care for direction and support?<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I found out i was HIV positive at 6 months pregnant with a CD4 count of 374.
