Martha,
Please check the archives with the keywords OSHA, CDC and HIV.  I'm
sorry I'm away from my bookmarks right now, but there are URLs posted to
Lactnet from OSHA and CDC that define clearly that human milk is not
considered to be a source of contamination by the casual contact of
touch.  Think of casual touch with human milk in the same way as casual
touch with saliva or sweat.  Yes, HIV is in these fluids, but does not
infect another body.  You need virulence (HIV is extremely unstable),
and sufficient quantity to overload a system.  This is why a baby would
presumably need to drink a quart a day for several months before having
a 30% chance of becoming infected.
