Question

Can I be infected with breast milk?

I had protected sex with woman who I paid to have sex with me. I sucked her nipple and some breast milk enters my mouth. I did not swallow it. I know that HIV can be spread from infected mother to her new born baby but what adult men? What is chance for adult men?

Answer

Breats milk do contain very tiny amount of HIV.  Breast milk is infectious to a baby but is unlikely to be infectious to an adult.

    HIV tests are sensitive to all subtypes. A negative results shows you do not have HIV.
