Question 1

can you contract hiv via breast sucking?

Accepted Answer

Babies can: The risk to an adult is probably remote. Consult this site for HIV transmission facts:
http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/basics/transmission.html

Question 2

csw lady breast sucking will transmit hiv? happened on last sunday , started getting all hiv symptoms,

Accepted Answer

No risk: HIV can&#x27;t be acquired by such contact. Something else is responsible for your symptoms, no matter how typical they seem to be for a new HIV infection. See a doctor if you remain concerned. Good luck.

Question 3

can an adult male really get hiv from sucking on a womans breast? i cant find any reported cases and doctors say there are none. is this a high risk activity or what?

Accepted Answer

: Extremely low risk.  Are you still communicating with this woman?  Ask if she is at risk.  HIV is not carried in the secretions from a normal breast.

Question 4

can hiv be contacted via sucking a non lactating hiv positive girl breast?

Accepted Answer

: In theory, there might be small risk. However, there are no reported cases of HIV transmission in this way. Even when HIV infected moms nurse their babies, on average only 15% of the babies become infected after several months of swallowing a few ounces of breast milk every day. Obviously the tiny amount that might be swallowed in this situation carries almost no risk of infection.

Question 5

i want to know if a hiv negative baby would be infected by sucking on her hiv positive mother's breasts during feeding?

Accepted Answer

Yes: This is a possible mode of transmission.

Question 6

dear doctor, does licking/sucking breasts during foreplay with a woman expose me to hiv/stis if the woman's status is unkown?

Accepted Answer

: No. These kinds of activities never transmit HIV or any STI.

Question 7

can gallactorea contain hiv virus? the woman has no child already. can gallactorhea transmit hiv virus to adult by sucking her breast? thank you?

Accepted Answer

: This is little or no risk for HIV, which is not easily transmitted by breast fluids. Nursing moms who have HIV can transmit to their babies by breast milk, but even then, the chance the child will be infected is under half, even after 6 months of swallowing a few ounces of milk every day.

Question 8

can you get hiv/aids for sucking your partners nipples and drinking the milk from her breast?

Accepted Answer

Quite possibly: Hiv can be passed from mother to child through breast milk.  (john gc, kreiss, mother-to-child transmission of human immunodeficiency virus type 1. J.Epidemiol rev. 1996;18(2):149-57.)

under the right circumstances (cut in the mouth, gastritis or esophagitis, or other method of entry), it is feasible that the virus could enter an adult's bloodstream from HIV in breast milk.

Question 9

i sucked a sex worker's breast i felt like it was lackting and few milk drops went in my mouth and then i stopped sucking and saw that yes it was lackting . so is there any chance of transmission of hiv?

Accepted Answer

: Zero risk. HIV has never been known to be transmitted by such an exposure -- and it's also unlikely your sex worker partner has HIV.

Question 10

can women suffering from galactorrhea cause hiv or some kind of bacterial or fungal infection in adults from sucking those breast?

Accepted Answer

No: An adult sucking a breast with galactorrhea will not cause HIV in either party. Your profile states unprotected sex, if the sex is with multiple partners, that is a greater risk of catching HIV or other sexually transmitted infection.
