Why spreading of HIV is not possible through mosquito bite?

Answer 1

hi,
i have been a aids volunteer and i know much about it.aids virus only survives in human fluids no where else.not in air ,water,land or in any type of insect or u say mosquito.there was a rumour which spreaded in delhi that one girl got aids coz in a cinema hall she sat in a chair on which there was a needle having the blood of a aids infected person.but that is not really true coz the time the virus came in contact with the air it died.by the barber's knife also there is very less chances of getting aids but a person cud get aids through a used needle coz there remains vacuum inside the needle after its being used and there may be a droplet or 2 of blood whose virus will survive in vacuum so there is a 100%chances of getting aids.but for sure mosquito won't give u aids virus.

Answer 2

mosquito bite doesnt spread AIDS coz.......
1.HIV cant survive for very long in air.outside the blood it can survive only for a few seconds
2.the proboscis of mosquito with which it sucks blood is solid (unlike a needle which is internally hollow) so blood doesnt get inside it but sticks to the outer surface.
3.when in contact with air,the HIV dies.any other remaining virus get wiped out by the outer surface of skin when the mosquito bites another person

but there is a possibility of 1 in 10000000 of a person getting infected by a mosquito bite.but since the chances are very very minimal so generally its said that mosquito bite doesnt spread AIDS ( till now there have been only 2 caes that got AIDS by a mosquito bite )

Answer 3

HIV is actually a very fragile virus. It needs a very specific environment in order to survive and a mosquito doesn't provide the right environment. Insects aren't nice and warm like humans, so the virus dies when it leaves the human and enters the mosquito. More hearty viruses like malaria don't have that problem.

Answer 4

The mosquitoe does not inject the sucked up blood directly in the next victim. I goes to its digestive tract and the bite uses thed salivary glands. The virus does not survive outside a body but seconds anyway.

Answer 5

mosquito is a vector that helps in the transmission of diseases. well let me clarify that only those parasites whose life cycle is digenetic that requires two hosts to complete their life cycle are transferred through bites and all that stuffs but hiv virus is a monogenetic host whose life cycle is completed in only one host that mean of the same species. is that clear?

Answer 6

Bcoz the virus can live only in the sexual fluids or can only directly diffused thro blood from other person...Hence it cannot survive inside mosquito's body

Answer 7

HI FRIEND! all virus have can survive only in very very exclusive conditions.for example if u put 1 Kg of AIDS virus in body of dog,cat or any other animal that particular animal will not die and can live normal.because condition in the animal is not favourable of aids virus.THIS EXAMPLE IS ALSO APPLICABLE TO mosquito.similarly TMV(TOBACCO MOSAC VIRUS)can only infect TOBACCO PLANT BECAUSE CONDITION R FAVOURABLE IN TOBACCO FOR T.M.V, BUT IF tmv is injected on any other plant ,the particular plant will easily survive and it will not infected. I HOPE U HAD UNDERSTOOD THIS ANSWER.!!!!

Answer 8

you need more then a microscopic drop of blood to get hiv, plus the blood is dried and the virus is dead, doesnt live forever. plus the mosquito isnt inserting blood into you its taking blood sucking it. west nile thats different

Answer 9

Simply because HIV is not vector transmitted.

Answer 10

same reason as you cannot get aids from a toilet seat or saliva. the virus needs specific conditions to survive.
