I have a video tape from a cable science channel that outlined how AIDS
spread in the remote villages in Russia.  To make a long story short, one of
the conditions a baby/toddler with AIDS often developes is thrush.  As we
all know, the baby may have patches in their mouth that can peel off and
bleed and many mothers develop sore, cracked nipples which leaves an opening
for AIDs infected blood to enter.  Therefore, a mother could be at risk of
contracting AIDS from her infected baby.
