HIV exposure need answers
So I work in a milk bank which includes mixing breast milk for the the infants in the hospital. Two weeks ago I accidentally splashed breast milk on my face. I immediately washed it off. I was wanting to the chances of hiv transmission. Thank you I am freaking out a little because I started to develop a rash on my arms. Thank you.
An adult can't get HIV from breast milk. Only a baby with an undeveloped immune system is at risk from HIV in breast milk.

You have no medical training and received the correct answer, so nothing else to say other than no adult in 40 year HIV history got it from anything but unprotected anal or vaginal sex or injecting from a shared needle - neither of which you did.
