It is quite possible, but it is not an absolute. Make sure all parties concerned are aware of the infection, to take care during the pregnancy and delivery to minimize the chances of transmitting the infection.
Good Luck.

The biggest risk is during delivery, but the best thing is to discuss this with the midwife who should be well informed about how best to protect the unborn baby.

Transmission of the virus occurs:
From mother to child -- a pregnant woman can transmit the virus to her fetus through their shared blood circulation, or a nursing mother can transmit it to her baby in her milk

yes there is a chance. With the drugs available today, there is only about a 1% chance it will happen (in the US and Canada) In 3rd world countries, unfortunately, there is about a 90% chance the disease will spread because of breastfeeding and the unavailability of the medications.

Yes she can.
But not every mother w/HIV has an infected child.
