A male can only infect the female (mother) and vertical transmission from mother to child can be prevented. See-
http://aids.about.com/od/hivprevention/f/verticaltrans.htm
So, the answer is yes.

I am Hiv positive and my child mothr is also. There are few cases reported in The United states of children cathing this
For the writer who says this
"you would contaminate the fetus as soon as it began to form.Aids is systematic and leaves no organ safe.Why would two people with aids want a baby anyway? it would just be a terminally ill orphan anyway "
About 20 yars ago you might have been right but with less then 2% of babies being borned with it the risk of infection is very little. Also PLWA'S have the right to have children aand have a normal life and when i see misinform statements like this it makes me sick.
