One of the human milk pasteurizer companies has a simple storage device in =
which a mother can place a bottle of milk with boiling water=2C then seal t=
he container and it kills the HIV.

This is *fabulous*!   Especially (in my community) for women who use milk from local donors.

But I *am* curious:  I know that HIV dies within minutes on a surface, but that it can last plenty long enough in donated blood to cause infection.  Do we actually *know* how long it can survive in expressed milk at room temperature?  Does refrigeration have any effect?  Freezing?  I'm assuming HIV can "outlive the milk" and that we can't just out-wait it.  But has the research been done?
