This is an WHO paper about breast feeding an infant. I hope it is useful.

Hi arun

It is absolutely safe for the child. The only measure to be taken is the mother should get into PMTCT services during her pregnancy, which is the short form of Prevention from mother to child transmission.

Proper and regular treatment will be absolutely safe for the child.
