I am confused. You breastfed someone elses baby? I have never heard of anyone getting HIV from the baby they breastfed, but if you had any cuts or abrasions on your breast it could happen. What concerns me is that you took it upon yourself to breastfeed somone elses child. What if you had an infection and didn't know it? You could have made even a healthy baby sick, but one with HIV, you could have even killed it. If that had happened you could have been charged with involuntary manslaughter in some states.
