Evidence or theory?

No, HIV is a virus and needs a human or animal host in order to survive. If the virus is outside the body for 10 minutes, it dies.

no if a blood sucking insect bites someone with HIV the virus dies almost instantly or in the insects stomach as i digests the blood The mosquito draws blood and injects saliva. The blood from one person is not injected into the mosquito's next victim.
HIV dies in the mosquito's body. People sometimes are confused because malaria actually reproduces inside the mosquito's digestive tract, using the insect as part of its life cycle. HIV does not.

NO! it is impossible ti get HIV from a mosquito or a flea, there is no way a person can get infcted that way. When a mosquito bites or stings you he sucks your blood out, he doesn´t inyect you with others peoples blood , no matter how many people he has bitten or stung before.

no the HIV virus cant be spread by mosquitoes , because the virus has its own suitable environment to be and temperature to survive and the mosquitoe doesnt have the required environment and temperature for the virus to survive , so when ever the virus gets in the mosquitoe it has a short period for survival

NOOO!!!! it can only be spread through sexual intercourse with an infected person. it can also be transported through unsafe blood transfusion and infected needles. no outbreak of the virus has been reported because of the mosquitos which is already famous of spreading dengue fever.

I have often wondered this myself, but current information still says it cannot be spread by insects.
