I have  a tape of a TV presentation from about ten years ago about how HIV
was introduced into a limited exposed area of Russia.  They were showing how
HIV ran from babies/children (shared needles in a pediatric ward of a
hospital- a common practice then) to mothers via breastfeeding, not through
milk, but through thrush-caused cracks in mom's nipples (baby's blood from
sores in mouth to mom's blood through noipple cracks).  Yeast infections is
a common occurance in HIV affected people apparently. I've always wondered
if this type of blood-blood transferance was controlled for  when the
studies of HIV in breastfeeding mothers were done.
