Nikki's study submission writes:

Conclusions There is a significant incidence of positive serology  among 
women interested in donating human milk. This implies that there may be  
significant risk associated with peer-to-peer distribution of human milk from  
unscreened donors.


~~~ Wow, I wonder how this compares to the incidence of positive serology  
in the general population. Good information to know. Women can be caught 
between  giving their babies the substandard but theoretically  standardized 
liquid that is AIM and giving their babies  live human  milk from a loving 
friend or a concerned neighbor with unknown status.
