Pam Morrison alerted me to the following paper https://www.mja.com.au/journal/2009/190/8/perinatal-exposure-hiv-among-children-born-australia-1982-2006
The numbers of HIV positive women who give birth in Australia is very small- about 25 a year. Of these 25, 21 or these women would be born in Sub-Saharan Africa. Less than 1 Australian-born HIV positive woman gives birth each year. The risk of HIV transmission via milk sharing in AUstralia is tiny, tiny tiny. If milk recipients wanted to make their risk microscopic they would just need to restrict their donors to those born in Australia.
