Can HIV Spread Through Lactation?
Hi, I had a protected vaginal intercourse with a prostitute, the girl was a mom and she was under lactation. I licked her nipples few times wthout direct intention to suck or taste the milk. Am I under high risk of getting HIV. I am becoming too anxious and I want to have a P24 combo test, how accurate would this test be after 11 days of exposure. Many Thanks.....

Yes hivcan be transmitted from lactation. But chances are very rare and p24 test is qite reliable but not on the ninth day. No test is reliable on yhe ninth day. So dont worry be calm and cool. Its neglilible chance.and test it after six month interval once to be sure.
