Thanks for letting me know I am safe, but one final concern I am still left. An hour after the breast milk exposure, while I was drinking Chinese Pearl Tea(some tea with chewy pearl like stuff) I bit my left cheek accidently. I got some minor bruise inside my mouth on my left cheek. Should I be concerned about this. HIV is supposed to exist in breast milk, but would it have been in mouth such long enough (an hour later) that when I bit my cheek could have possibly entered my blood stream. Please let me know if you guys think I am at risk..
Thanks
