CS is not done for all patients,only for patients whose CD4 and viral load are not controlled with medications.

really there is not a complete and conclusive study about that. But in real life they perform cesarean section to all HIV positive women, unless she is in active fase with 10cm dilated, head presented and in +2.
if you have to choose: choose C section, I´ve seen some researchs from Jackson memorial hospital (miami), and they are prone to c section. but conclusions go along with medical team safety.
