Can you become infected with the HIV virus through breast milk?

Yes you can. Breast milk contains the virus as well as other body fluids including semen, vaginal secretions, and blood. There is about a 38% chance of transmission from the mother to her baby while breastfeeding if the mother is HIV positive. However, if the mother is on the AZT drugs for HIV (the number one drug of choice for managing the disease), the risk of transmission decreases to about 8%. But the chance is still there, and it might not be worth taking. So if this is just a question you were wondering about for just the heck of it, or if it's for personal reasons I hope this helps. Just be sure to talk to your doctor if it's about you before taking any risks, he would be able to give you more information on the topic in more detail. Even with an 8% risk, which is significantly lower, the risks probably outweigh the benefits. Hope this helps!

yes, it is the fourth body fluid to have the highest amount of HIV. But, if you were to drink at your age, you would be much less likely to get HIV. It has to pass through your digestive tract, which is very good at killing the HIV virus. Babies are more likely to get HIV because they have not built up an immune system yet, and their immune system comes from the vitamins and nutrients found in a mother's breast milk.

Think of the ways HIV is transmitted. It's an STI, as well as transmitted blood to blood, and mother to child and breast milk. Not sure about documented cases. But if the virus can live in the milk then I'd guess yes it's possible.

Why would you be drinking breast milk?

Yes. If the mother is HIV positive, she cannot breast feed the baby. But her doctor should have told her that.

YES you can if the a mother had the virus and fed her baby with breast milk the baby probably would get infected (other fluids like blood, not siliva,semen, and vaginal fluids)

Yes, this is a known way of transmitting the disease.

yes

yes risk infeeting infant and they mate.

but if that female has it she is order not to brest feed the baby .
