    Can your partner catch anything from breast whilst there lacating if you were Hiv? It's a bodily fluid so maybe it could carry HIV? :confused:

    You mean can the baby catch anything?
    A woman infected with HIV can pass HIV on to her child during pregnancy, birth, or breastfeeding. Transmission through breastfeeding is estimated to account for one-fourth to one-half of all mother-to-infant HIV infections, depending on the duration of breastfeeding. Yet among babies born uninfected and who are breastfed by untreated mothers with HIV, on average more than 80% remain uninfected when breastfeeding continues for two years.
