He has been tested (since his sister's death, and, I believe, under threat of Child Protective Services involvement), and he's HIV negative.

There's only about a 25% chance that the child of an HIV-positive mother will be HIV-positive. In Maggiore's case, that risk would increase because she breastfed both kids, but would also probably decrease because, given her obvious good health, her viral load is presumably pretty low.
