This is pretty great. Only 2 babies born with HIV in Cuba last year, although the article doesn't say how many were born previous years.
Only data I could find says as of 2011, 6,200 adults had HIV in Cuba.

6200 HIV adults and a stable population says something like 3100 are female and with 30 child bearing years and two children over that period about 200 of them should give birth each year. A 1% probability of passing along HIV with the retroviral treatment gives 2 HIV babies a year.
(I'm actually a little surprised when a news article's math works.)
I'm not sure if there's research on this though - it would be interesting to see.
