What can happen if a mother's
milk is given to the wrong child?
"HIV
and other serious infectious diseases can be transmitted through
breastmilk. However, the risk of infection from a single bottle
of breastmilk, even if the mother is HIV positive, is extremely
small. For women who do not have HIV or other serious infectious
diseases, there is little risk to the child who receives her breastmilk."

Does breast milk qualify as a "potential
infectious fluid"?
"No. CDC does not list human breastmilk
as a body fluid to which universal precautions apply. Please read
the CDC, MMWR, Mortality and Morbidity Weekly Report "Perspectives
in Disease Prevention and Health Promotion Update: Universal Precautions
for Prevention of Transmission of Human Immunodeficiency Virus,
Hepatitis B Virus, and Other Bloodborne Pathogens in Health-Care
Settings" or the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP)
