In need of your advice
Hello Dr's
About 10 days ago me and this girl from my job started to mess around while at work, we were rubbing and touching each other and stuff like that.. Then she took out her breasts and i started to lick and suck on one of her breasts. I immediatly tasted something funny in my mouth, Then i stopped after about a minute or so and then we started to make out...
The girl that i was with had a baby over a year ago, somethime around May of 2007 i beleive and she told me that she hasnt slept with anyone since before she was pregnant and that the last person she was with was her babies father. He was sent to prison while she was pregnant thus the reason why she hasnt slept with anyone since. So i asked her about the possibility of what i tasted could have been breast milk and she said no because she never breast fed her baby and that there wouldnt be any milk in her breast for this amount of time.
So i am worried about the possibility of having breast milk in my mouth and making out with this girl, She says that she doesnt have any STD'S but people do have them and dont even know it.........She said that during her pregnancy she was told from a former partner from the past that he had herpes and that she should get tested, she was told this from that guy while she was still pregnant and so she told me that she went to her OBGYN Dr. and told him of this and she told him to test her for everything, whether or not she got and HIV test i dont know.
Putting all of this together with the risky behavior that i did what would my risk be from catching HIV or any other STD from this girl assuming she had something, Do i need to be tested for anything. Please Answer.

Your concerns have no basis and you need not worry. Here is why:
1. She said she was not lactating. Believe me, she will know better than you.
2. She is not HIV infected. She was checked for HIV during her pregnancy (this is usual procedure) and thus would know if she was infected and would not have told you otherwise.
3. In the unrealistic situation that she was infected and lactating, you would not get infected by ingestion of a small amount of her breast milk. The virus is poorly transmitted, if at all and would be killed by stomach acid. The reason that babies get HIV from breast milk is because their gastrointestinal tracts are different from adults.
Bottom line. No risk and no need for testing for the exposure you describe. EWH

I forgot to mention that the girl said that what i tasted was probably lotion because she puts lotion on her breast after every shower. But i am still worried over the possibility of it being Breast milk
