That's actually not true.
So the gloves wouldn't have much, if any, impact on the risk for HIV transmission, BUT it makes a lot more sense to prevent the transmission the slew of other germs. Not a big deal either way though.

The fact that she's eating doesn't decrease risk.

Yeah, so she would know the location of every inch of broken skin on every child, right? That's crazy that anyone should expect her to take that precaution, right?

It increases her risks dramatically. But it's about HIV, not other germs.
I absolutely do not blame her for wearing gloves. I would do the same, but I would never eat while wearing them.
