Brief Answer:
No, there is no chance of getting HIV.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have gone through your query and here is my advice.

As per your history, there is no chance of getting HIV.

HIV spreads due to direct blood to blood contact, body fluid contact, unprotected sexual contact, used injectables of a HIV infected person.

But in your case, there is no such history as she was feeding bottled milk, so there is no need to worry as there is no chance of getting HIV.

Be relaxed, keep your self calm, and do not worry.

Hope I have answered your query, let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr Shyam Kale.
