Angelina Jolie would have adopted baby Zahara even she had been HIV positive.The Hollywood actress admitted she was relieved when tests showed her 16-month-old Ethiopian daughter was healthy shortly after she became her legal guardian.She said: "It's a life-changing decision to adopt a child, and to be honest, it was a relief when she wasn't diagnosed with HIV." Angelina - who also has an adopted Cambodian son, four-year-old Maddox - gave birth to biological daughter Shiloh Nouvel earlier this month and revealed Zahara is jealous of her new sister.She told America's CNN news network: "Z is jealous because she's still a little girl."Maddox loves her. Because when Z came home she was older, she was seven months old. So for Mad it's like having this tiny little pet he can hold and look at."The 31-year-old star also admitted she was relieved that her feelings for her first biological child were the same as the ones she had for her adopted children.

She admitted: "I was kind of prepared to defend my other children. I was prepared to kind of give them extra love and attention, because something was going to be different about this new one."
