Can you drink milk from a doe with CAE?

Yes. It poses no danger to humans.

There are some folks who keep their asymptomatic CAE positive does for milkers. They pull the kids at birth and raise them on Prevention (pasturized goats milk or whole/raw cows milk) and drink the milk from that doe themselves. As the others have mentioned, it's completely safe for human consumption.
