Answer:

"It's discouraging to know that my breast milk can pass on HIV to my baby."

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the information provided it can be said that one statement that would indicate the woman's complete understanding would be "It's discouraging to know that my breast milk can pass on HIV to my baby." That is because HIV is a virus that weakens the individual's immune system and is spread through many body fluids, including breast milk. Therefore breastfeeding can cause the mother to infect the baby.
