First of all, you can't "catch" AIDS. However, you *can* "catch" HIV which may progress to AIDS.
And, no, HIV is not transmitted via mosquito bites. It simply does not happen. If it did, there would be many, many more people with HIV and AIDS than there are now.

I think it could be. the virus is smaller than malaria, and that is easy to cross from them to us. If anything I would say it has been seen as "no it cant" because of the hysteria that would follow if it was found to be that it could pass.
Just like not catching AIDS from kissing, why not? it passes in body fluids and saliva is one of those. and if the person has an open sore in the mouth then blood can be present, and blood is death.

If the mosquito has ingested blood from and AIDS infected individual, YES, the possibility is there..but it is very small. Worry more about the potential for St. Louis encephalitis...that's much more common

no. it is a blood borne virus, so i see where you are coming from, but i have worked with hiv/aids patients for ten years and never come across this.

probably in africa cause the majority of people over there have it and surely if it bites a carrier and then bites you then u must have a chance of being infected.
