I would like to add that re: the HIV issue; women who are being treated with current anti-virals have been shown (in studies of Western women) to have a virtually non-existent rate of transmission. WHO itself recommends in areas with little or no access to clean water to have HIV positive women breastfeed whether they are receiving treatment or not; they feel the risks of formula are worse.
