Nope! The results of experiments and observations of insect biting behavior indicate that when an insect bites a person, it does not inject its own or a previously bitten person's or animal's blood into the next person bitten. Rather, it injects saliva, which acts as a lubricant so the insect can feed efficiently.

Studies have shown no evidence of HIV transmission through insects—even in areas where there are many cases of AIDS and large populations of insects such as mosquitoes. HIV lives for only a short time inside an insect and does not reproduce. Thus, even if the virus enters a mosquito or another sucking or biting insect, the insect does not become infected and cannot transmit HIV to the next human it feeds on or bites

"THEY" say no. I am not quite sure. There are so many people including children who have never been exposed the the HIV virus and have either HIV or AIDS. NEVER SAY NEVER. Toilet seats are also a supposed no. If the circumstances were aligned, I wouldn't doubt it. BE careful and aware.

The research suggests that it does NOT spread through mosquito bites. But other nasty nasty illnesses do!

It does not. It spreads through sex and contaminated needles.
