yes it is possible. All you need to do is, be on medication and follow doctors instructions. It is safer if you opt for caesarian and dont breast feed.

If a pregnant woman has HIV or thinks she has been exposed to HIV, she should consult a health care provider who knows about HIV disease. Without treatment, about 25 percent of babies born to women with HIV are also infected. However, the use of anti-viral drugs, cesarean delivery, and refraining from breastfeeding can reduce the risk of transmission to less than two percent.
Nevertheless, children born with HIV often develop AIDS. A pregnant woman with HIV may want to consider whether or not to continue her pregnancy.

Sometimes a c section is called for in this situation but this determination is best left up to a specialist.

You do not say whether you mean a mother transimitting it to her UNBORN child or to her child AFTER it is born. The answers are different. In either case, she must get medical care. The medical practitioner will explain this for her.
