No. The virus does not survive inside a mosquito's body. Some mosquitoes do carry viruses though. For example, the Aedes Aegyptus (recognizable by its black and white striped legs) carries the Dengue-virus and transmits it to human beings. That doesn't automatically mean that every Aedes Aegyptus has this virus aboard. It's only when they sting somebody who has Dengue, that they load up on it. They spread the disease.

Why can't you get HIV from a mosquito bite?
There is not sufficient viral load, and the mosquito's blood is not compatible with the virus.

I'm told no you can't however they do carry other virus. Encephalities is one virus that's carried by mosquitos and if they bite you can get it.

no you can't because HIV/Aids can only be transmitted from one person to other three ways:
1)Unprotected sexual contact
2)Direct blood contact, including injection drug needles, blood transfusions, accidents in health care settings or certain blood products
3)Mother to baby (before or during birth, or through breast milk)
it cannot be transmitted through insect bites!!!
