Patricia, I think this will have what you need:
Website: http://www.cdc.gov/breastfeeding/govtact-nchstp.htm
Makes recommendations on glove use by hospital workers in contact with
breast milk. It states that although occupational exposure to human breast
milk has not been implicated in the transmission of HIV nor HBV infection to
health-care workers, gloves may be worn by health-care workers where
exposures to breastmilk might be frequent, for example, in breast milk
banking.
Reference: Update: Universal Precautions for Prevention of Transmission of
Human Immunodeficiency Virus, Hepatitis B Virus, and other Bloodborne
Pathogens in Health-Care Settings MMWR, 1988, Vol. 37, No. 24.
