Anne, If you do a net search on inactivation of HIV in breastmilk you'll
come up with a stack of hits....like this one.
http://berkeley.edu/news/media/releases/2007/05/21_breastmilk.shtml
and if you search google scholar you'll end up with a heap more.
There are certainly a number of choices of ways of inactivating including a
few different ways of pasteurisation.
Good on this mum for looking at all her options and good on you for helping
her.
