Question

If my mom had HIV, Would the Doctors let her her breast feed me

Answer 1

Hiv is transmitted through bodily fluids so if your mum was had hiv while pregnant with you than yes it can be passed on to you
but if one of your family members like a brother uncle cousin has it unless you exchange bodily fluid you are safe.

Answer 2

there was this hiv positive woman in the news a few years ago who was having her child removed from her custody because she refused to stop breastfeeding. the child did not contract the virus in utero. but the mother insisted that the claims of the hiv virus in breastmilk was unfounded. a lot of hiv negative babies are born to hiv positive mothers

It is not genetic. But, a fetus can contract it from a mother. However, it is even possible to prevent the fetus from contracting it, but the mother can not breast feed or the baby will contract HIV.
