What is the recommended approach concerning antiretroviral medication for a mother with AIDS who is breastfeeding?

  1. A. Safe to continue breastfeeding

  2. B. Start formula feeding

  3. C. Not safe, use donor breast milk

  4. D. Use herbal remedies

The correct answer is: C. Not safe, use donor breast milk

When a mother has AIDS and is breastfeeding, the recommended approach is to not breastfeed her own baby and to instead use donor breast milk. This recommendation is based on the fact that HIV can be transmitted through breast milk, and the risk of transmission is significant in mothers with AIDS. Therefore, to ensure the infant's safety and well-being, it is advised to avoid breastfeeding and opt for donor breast milk or formula feeding as a safer alternative.
