Nikkie Says:
Hi I am hiv positive and on tribuss medication, I now have a 9 weeks son who was born negative and was given nevirapine at birth till he was 6weeks then given Iltrim.I was breastfeeding exclusively till he was 2weeks then gave him breastfeed, formula and cereal because he was not getting full on breast milk only does this mean that my son is now hiv positive even though I take my treatment religiously and gave him his ?

Hello, Nikkie! How are you?
No, mixed feeding would not affect that. You both just need to continue to take the prescribed medications, until he is done breastfeeding, as reported by the NIH.
Is there anything else I can help with?

Thank you so so much for your honesty, I also have the same problem. I was even afraid of giving my daughter a flu medicine because we were told that if we give the kids anything they gonna be hiv+, these was eating me up inside I even lost 13kg because I was so stressed, even faught with my husband for getting me infected while I was honest to him. My baby got tested negative at birth but she was not tested at 6wks they just gave me 2 bottels of ilvitrim and said that they gonna test her at 10wks. I leaved with the stress until now, what worries me is that I also gave her soft poridge (purity) and warm water to drink and was told not to, but my results says "not detectable" they said that's because I'm taking my mecation well

Re: odie (# 6) 
No if you taking your medication well and your viral load is undetectable then your baby will not be infected but avoid anything that could increase the chances of getting infected like solid food and muthiwenyoni.
