If they carried something that could give you AIDS, it would be HIV--the human immunodeficiency virus. HIV is what causes AIDS. AIDS is a group of diseases and symptoms that come about because one's immune system has been compromised by HIV.
Mosquitos do not transmit HIV to human beings. Stop worrying about it. This issue has been addressed since the 1980s. Where have you been?

The experiment using aids patients and mosquitoes has not been reported. We would want to see the mosquito dies after the aids blood ingestion or the mosquito is auto immune and kills the viruses. Good question but you wont be popular for it, doctor wannabe.

No, mosquitos don't carry AIDS. The virus doesn't replicate or survive in insects. Also, mosquitos inject saliva, not the blood of the animal it bit previously. Viruses such as malaria are present in the mosquito's saliva.

your jokeing right?
no, aids is transferred by mixing blood of a healty person with he blood of a seek one. but mosquitos suck your blood, they don't spit another mans into your vains, so, there is no mixing of blood, therefore how can they transfer aids?

NO! mosquitos dont carry aids, aids is a sexually transmitted disease.. You can also get it by using dirty needles (for like tatoos),etc..

no because they dont spit blood back out.. and even if they did it would have to go into a direct cut. it is transferred by blood to blood contact...or "other" body fluids...
