Katherine asks, "Is there a viable way for the mothers to express milk and treat it?" Excellent question! I asked it myself, but it was thought that this would be too "different", and probably identify the mothers as HIV+. Sigh. "Is donor milk out of the question?" - Afraid so. My babies (18 years ago) received raw unpasteurized donor milk while in the hospital (I feel now that we had a near miss with this) but anonymous sentinel surveillance testing of pregnant women shows that over 30% of them test positive for HIV, so donor milk is never considered now. And no, there are no milk banks.
