Default Is HIV/AIDS hereditary?

If the parents have who this kind of disease will pass to their children? Is it possible that the pregnant mother who have this disease will affect its baby?

Yes. It will have high chances that HIV/AIDS can be passed unto their offspring.

Yes there are more chances of the infant child receives this disease from her mother.If the couple is having HIV\ADIS then the child suffers through this disease which ruins his health before entering in this beautiful world.People must take precautionary measures to prevent the spreading of virus.It can be surely called hereditary.

HIV/Aids is not hereditary. Hereditary means genetically transmitted.
But the virus can be passed by the mother to her infant through bodily fluids AND not by genes.
