Mosquitoes can transmit blood born illnesses like yellow fever, so it is wise to be careful but from the government aids fact sheet: http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/pubs/facts/transmission.htm
Some people fear that HIV might be transmitted in other ways; however, no scientific evidence to support any of these fears has been found. If HIV were being transmitted through other routes (such as through air, water, or insects), the pattern of reported AIDS cases would be much different from what has been observed. For example, if mosquitoes could transmit HIV infection, many more young children and preadolescents would have been diagnosed with AIDS.

No Mosquitoes first discover an area to position their eggs then once the eggs are laid it heads off to get blood from both a human or animal then go back to feed the eggs the blood that it has switched over right into a protein style food.Then as quickly because that is executed feeding the eggs interior of minutes the mosquito is useless.There are different infections inclusive of west nile virus you could settlement if a mosquito stings you .And if no longer dealt with in time you could die of this virus. So in case you quite opt to be probability-free you should apply a computer virus spray containing a sturdy volume of Deet..sturdy success..and be probability-free

Mixing blood doesn't cause AIDS. Only mixing blood with someone who has AIDS. Besides, you can not get AIDS by a mosquito, if you could a lot more people would have it. .

NO no body what any body tells you so many people have HIV chances are if a mosquitos carried the virus everyone would have it, also my aunt worked at an AIDS hospial can only be transferred through breast milk, vaginal fluids, semen, and mucouse mambranes in your ***

Yes, if the mosquito previously drank the blood of a HIV carrier.

NO WAY!
I learned about this at health science.
AIDS is caused by the HIV virus. It spreds by sexual maturity, reproduction, hyperdemic needles, and, rarely, blood transfusions.

It's highly unlikely since the exposure to the air might kill the blood cells and cause them to clot, rendering any diseases useless in their quest to reproduce at all costs. You shouldn't be in any harm at all from this.

No, i don't think so. HIV can't survive in mosquitos. Additionally, mosquitos don't inject blood into you, they inject their saliva... that's you can get some mosquito borne diseases.

they say yes but honestly they say you could get it from kissing as well but you have to exchange 10574 gallons of saliva to contract AIDS so you chose if this is likely

no! aids is a retro virus,it cannot live outside a living cell,Once a mesqueti eats the cells are killed when the cell dies the virus dies.
