Dear Naijablog Ask Dr.

My Name is James Charles, I want to know if someone can contract HIV by sucking breast?

Dear James Charles.

The answer to your questions is yes.

But, someone can only contract HIV, HbsAg, HCV and VDRL when the woman you suck her breast has breast milk or the breast is bring out water, and she positive to HIV or any of the Viruses.

That is the reason HIV positive mothers are prevented from Breastfeeding their baby, because the baby can be infected through the breast milk.
