hiv concern

Hi, I had an episode were I took two drops of breast milk off the girls finger, I read that stomach acid and enzymes kill hiv in the stomach, thing is I take anti heartburn medication which reduces stomach acid, would I still be a zero risk even though i take this and diabetes type 2 medication

1. You didn't drink enough breast milk for a long enough period to be a risk.
2. Saliva contains over a dozen different enzymes and proteins that inhibits HIV transmission.
