Some definitions:
1.
HIV is a virus that attacks the human immune system, and weakens it enough until the person eventually develops AIDS.
2. It is possible to
carry the HIV virus, i.e.
keep the virus in one's body WITHOUT any obvious, outward and/or serious symptoms.
3.
AIDS is the final stage of HIV infection. People
have AIDS, not carry it, since
having AIDS means that the HIV virus has weakened the immune system to the point at which the body has a difficult time fighting infections.

Since people can carry the HIV virus WITHOUT any obvious, outward and/or serious symptoms, people may NOT realise that they are carriers. If they do not realise/know that they are carriers, they will carry on with their lives as they normally would, which includes having children.
On the other hand, people with full-blown AIDS tend to be quite ill already, so they would have a lot of other things to be concerned about, instead of having children.
Therefore:
It is moot (i.e. of no practical importance; irrelevant) to say that people who carry HIV shouldn't have children. When people KNOW that they are carriers, their life foci/priorities will change accordingly. They WON'T need someone/anyone to tell them that they shouldn't have children.
And thus:
It is even more irrelevant to say that people who have AIDS shouldn't have children.
BUT JUST IN CASE a pregnant woman thinks she is HIV-positive, healthcare procedures are available to see the woman and her baby through:

It is so sad to see such an attitude expressed in print, but since this note of sadness is just my own subjective and perhaps politically-correct opinion of another person's thoughts, I'll just take the opportunity to carry it a bit further.
Since you, Trien Chieu, does not want to know anyone with AIDS, I'm pretty sure that people with AIDS don't want to know you either.

Sidetrack: My experience with HIV carriers
Nearly a decade ago, I visited a friend in South Africa whose work involved bringing health and education services to children in suburban slums. On the way to one of these slums, my friend mentioned that a number of the children there were HIV-positive, but since there are no obvious outward symptoms, the HIV-positive children and the others could not be differentiated. [There wasn't enough funding to test and medicate carriers then, and there still isn't enough funding now]. When we finally arrived at the slum and were greeted warmly by a large group of very friendly children, a thought struck me:
Would I hug the children, many of whom had drippy noses and open sores on their skin?
I took only a second to decide: Yes. And I did.
