Can anyone offer some providers that are lactating?

Try Tia Greek

Thanks, Loarthan.  I saw that below which is what prompted me to ask.  Any one know of any others?

Thanks

Tia Greek offers incredible service.  Bring a bottle of pineapple juice.  It makes you tastier for her and it fills her up so she can better feed you.

What's so great about lactation?

How is HIV transmitted?

    HIV is spread by direct contact with infected body fluids, including blood, semen, vaginal secretions and breast milk. This means that HIV contained in one of these fluids must get into the bloodstream by direct entry into a vein, a break in the skin or through mucous linings, such as the eyes, mouth, nose, vagina, rectum or penis. Other body fluids such as urine, saliva, vomit, etc., do not pose a risk unless visible blood is present.

             OOPS, there is more~

Can a woman with HIV pass the virus to her baby during pregnancy or through breast feeding?

    Yes. There is a 1 in 4 chance that a woman infected with HIV will pass the virus to her baby before birth or during birth, if she is not taking any drugs that fight HIV. The risk of passing HIV to the infant may be reduced to 1 in 12 if the mother takes the medication AZT during pregnancy. HIV is also found in breast milk and babies have become infected by breastfeeding from mothers infected with HIV. Women with HIV should NOT breastfeed their babies.  

    A woman with HIV infection can pass the virus to her baby during pregnancy, delivery or by breastfeeding even if she has no symptoms.


Yikes, sounds like you should consider taking up "water sports!"

Kisses, K  xo

Interesting statement, Kate. Is it a public service message or is something deeper implied?

Just a public service statement.  I have to be honest, I asked the question at Ask.com because I wasn't sure myself!

Just an FYI, which I think is important.  No underlying reason for posting it except FYI.

Have fun and be safe!

Hugs, Kate   p.s.  don't you think it's important to know?

Yes, it's interesting and I think I was just being manic when I posted. Although no one has yet to tell me why lactating would be of interest to anyone except a hungry baby. To each his own, I guess, but the idea seems quite foreign ...
