ANS: C
Human immunodeficiency virus is a serious illness that can be transmitted to the infant via body fluids. Because the amount of milk being produced depends on the amount of suckling of the breasts, providing enough milk should not be a problem. Nipple abnormality can begin to be treated during pregnancy but may begin after birth. Many methods help flat or inverted nipples to become more erect. Only active tuberculosis patients would be cautioned not to breastfeed.
