The advances in HIV treatment have brought down the rate of mother-to-child HIV transmission significantly. If the mother takes appropriate medical precautions, the rate of transmission can be reduced from 25 percent to below 2 percent. In addition, studies have shown that being pregnant will not make HIV progress faster in the mother.

Yes, Previosly without medical treatment this possibility was about 30% . But now with advanced medical care 70-80% of these mother can give birth to HIV -ve baby. Transmition of HIV from mother to baby depends its placental barrier, when this barrier breaks because of any reason virus spreads to baby. So should take all possible measures to avoid it under doctors supervision.
When baby gets born do not breast feed them, instead squeze out milk in small pot and boil it for 15-20 minute then only give it to baby, this kills hiv virus

nop, not possible... HIV+ is present in the mothers blood, and since the mothers blood containing nutrients is transferred to the baby's devoloping body, it would be impossible for it to be HIV-
