No, but they can spread other diseases, like Malaria.

No. A mosquito only withdraws blood, it does not mix it amongst its victims. It is impossible for HIV/AIDS to be passed via a mosquito unless, for example, a mosquito bit an HIV/AIDS carrier, the mosquito was killed, and the blood somehow enters another person's system such as through the eye.
However, when a mosquito bites a person, it injects a chemical which deadens the sensation of being bitten (hence why most people don't notice). That chemical *can* transmit malaria and other similar diseases and viruses.

No it is not possible
When a mosquito bites it injects its saliva to prevent the blood From clotting and then Sucks the Blood
The blood it sucks will not be injected into the next person it bites
and the saliva of the mosquito does not harbor the virus
IN THIRD world countries it is not mosquito's that transmit but it is sexual contact which is responsible for most of the cases
And onions are not mosquito repellents
So it is not possible for the mosquito to transmit HIV

If HIV is an STD, how can a mosquito transmit it to a human? Certainly humans do not have sex with mosquitoes. This is another example of a question where an answer has been given with NO support for the assertion. Therefore, one must assume the response is in error.

How HIV is Transmitted
HIV is spread by sexual contact with an infected person, by sharing needles and/or syringes (primarily for drug injection) with someone who is infected, or, less commonly (and now very rarely in countries where blood is screened for HIV antibodies), through transfusions of infected blood or blood clotting factors. Babies born to HIV-infected women may become infected before or during birth or through breast-feeding after birth.
In the health care setting, workers have been infected with HIV after being stuck with needles containing HIV-infected blood or, less frequently, after infected blood gets into a worker’s open cut or a mucous membrane (for example, the eyes or inside of the nose). There has been only one instance of patients being infected by a health care worker in the United States; this involved HIV transmission from one infected dentist to six patients. Investigations have been completed involving more than 22,000 patients of 63 HIV-infected physicians, surgeons, and dentists, and no other cases of this type of transmission have been identified in the United States.
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 the mosquito cannot pass HIV. By the time it sucks in the blood and decides to fly off it will drop dead. It's body is not built to take in a virus that eats away at your immune system so fast as HIV or AIDS.

No. Mosquitos can spread HIV for the very reason that HIV is a very weak virus , so as to say. It cant servive in the mosquito's digestive track or for that matter in open air as well.

False. HIV can be transmitted through blood transfusion or other exchange of fluids (like intercourse or anal sex, infected needles, or infected blood spattered into your eye).
