Yes, HIV can be transmitted from an HIV-positive mother to her child during pregnancy, childbirth, or breastfeeding. This type of transmission is known as mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) or vertical transmission. However, with appropriate medical interventions and treatment, the risk of transmission can be significantly reduced.

HIV can cross the placenta and infect the fetus during pregnancy. The virus can also be transmitted during childbirth as the baby passes through the birth canal, which may contain HIV-infected fluids or blood.
