All current forms of HIV cannot be transmitted by way of mosquitos. There's too little blood involved, and furthermore the virus wouldn't last very long inside of a mosquito.

between the most well-known myths about HIV transmission is that mosquitoes or different bloodsucking insects can infect you. there is no medical data to help this declare. to work out why mosquitos do not help in the transmission of HIV, we may be able to seem on the insect's biting habit. at the same time as a mosquito bites someone, it does no longer inject its personal blood or the blood of an animal or man or woman it has bitten into the subsequent man or woman it bites. The mosquito does inject saliva, which acts as a lubricant so as that it would want to feed extra effectively. Yellow fever and malaria might want to be transmitted by ability of the saliva, yet HIV does no longer reproduce in insects, so the virus doesn't live on in the mosquito lengthy sufficient to be transmitted in the saliva. also, mosquitoes do not regularly shuttle from one man or woman to a unique after eating blood. The insects want time to digest the blood meal before shifting on

I don't think you can contract HIV thru a mosquito, flea, or bed bug bite. If you slap a mosquito that has sucked your blood, the blood you see is your own, anyway wash your hands whenever you come into contact with blood or any bodily fluids. the blood would have to come in contact with an open cut or wound on your body.

If the person had no wounds on his hands the there would be no chance of transmission.
I would like to add that mosquitos dont carry the virus because the virus can only travel in the human white blood cells and they dont have them.
The HIV virus has a life span of 20seconds in open air.

Contrary to what the liberals and gay lobby would want you to believe, HIV transmission is possible even with kissing (there is fluid and even some blood transmission during kissing), and certainly possible if the mosquito had live HIV virus (in the sucked blood) that got into an opening in the skin.

So far there has been no confirmed cases of mosquitoes transferring HIV from an infected person to a non-infected person.

supposedly, once the mosquito consumes the blood i drops from body temperature and the virus cannot survive in enviornments below 95 degrees F, so therefore it kills the virus.

but if this is true, then all you have to do to cure an HIV patient is cool them so that their body temp drops enough to kill the virus.

so im not quite sure.
but as long as your blood didnt contact the infected blood youre fine for sure.

Was the mosquito wearing a condom?
