Say a Mosquito bites you after previously biting some one with hiv/aids could you get it? Kinda like malaria.?

Answer 1

No, because the HIV cannot survive in mosquito's body fluids. It's not very resistant, it can't even live long in the air it has to be in human blood in order to survive.
It's a completely different thing with malaria, if you would like to learn more about it go here:

Answer 2

There are three theoretical mechanisms which would allow blood-sucking insects such as mosquitoes to transmit HIV.

1. In the first mechanism, a mosquito would initiate the cycle by feeding on an HIV positive carrier and ingest virus particles with the blood meal. For the virus to be passed on, it would have to survive inside the mosquito, preferably increase in numbers, and then migrate to the mosquito's salivary glands. The infected mosquito would then seek its second blood meal from an uninfected host and transfer the HIV from its salivary glands during the course of the bite. This is the mechanism used by most mosquito-borne parasites, including malaria, yellow fever, dengue, and the encephalitis viruses.

2. In the second mechanism, a mosquito would initiate the cycle by beginning to feed on an HIV carrier and be interrupted after it had successfully drawn blood. Instead of resuming the partial blood meal on its original host, the mosquito would select an AIDS-free person to complete the meal. As it penetrated the skin of the new host, the mosquito would transfer virus particles that were adhering to the mouthparts from the previous meal. This mechanism is not common in mosquito-borne infections, but equine infectious anemia is transmitted to horses by biting flies in this manner.

3. The third theoretical mechanism also involves a mosquito that is interrupted while feeding on an HIV carrier and resumes the partial blood meal on a different individual. In this scenario, however, the AIDS-free host squashes the mosquito as it attempts to feed and smears HIV contaminated blood into the wound. In theory, any of the mosquito-borne viruses could be transmitted in this manner providing the host circulated sufficient virus particles to initiate re-infection by contamination.

Answer 3

mosquito's carry many infections like malaria and yellow fever but you cant get aids from a mosquito because the aids particle must go into the mosquito and survive which is could not happen because the mosquito is not in the ''HIV cycle'' it would have to be in the mosquitoes saliva but the mosquito doesn't transfer blood it just absorbs it

Answer 4

It haven't happen yet, it would be quite difficult but not impossible. HIV is a virus, and its a fact that some virus do evolve.

HIV transmitted through the bite of an infected Anopheles mosquito? lets hope something like that never happen.

Answer 5

while my answer is not the same as every one Else i say if the factors are right and the time between bite and re bite we relatively small then yes i mean for the HIV to spread you simply have to have some one with hive some how transmute it into your system whether it be sexually or otherwise. but i am not a Doctor so i could be Wong

Answer 6

I have had the same thing happen to me before. I think it is just an allergy. If you are in doubt about it being a mosquito or spider bite just draw a circle around it. If it gets larger ask a doctor to look at it.

Answer 7

No. Because of the bacteria in a mosquitoe's stomach, the HIV/AID's virus is unable to 'exist'.

Answer 8

No. Because a mosquito suck the blood, but nothing is ever ejected. The blood stays in the mosqito. I used to work for a mosquito control company and that was one of my number one questions. lol

Answer 9

nope as the hiv virus dont usually spread to salive of a infected being wheather a human or a animal. dat's y they say it's ok to kiss HIV positive guys.

Answer 10

No because you have to be infected with enough body fluids for the virus to start building antibodies. This was proven out many years ago. RN/retired
