could a nursing mom accidental infect her newborn by allowing them to suck on clothing that had been washed with panties used by someone with an std?

Unlikely. Very unlikely. HIV isn’t transmitted through the GI tract. When my son was an infant, I always washed his clothing/bedding separately because I used a different laundry detergent for him. Consider doing that.
