Can I get AIDS from a mosquito bite?

Answer 1

no

Answer 2

One of the most prevalent myths about HIV transmission is that mosquitoes or other bloodsucking insects can infect you. There is no scientific evidence to support this claim. To see why mosquitos don't aid in the transmission of HIV, we can look at the insect's biting behavior.

When a mosquito bites someone, it does not inject its own blood or the blood of an animal or person it has bitten into the next person it bites. The mosquito does inject saliva, which acts as a lubricant so that it can feed more effectively. Yellow fever and malaria can be transmitted through the saliva, but HIV does not reproduce in insects, so the virus doesn't survive in the mosquito long enough to be transmitted in the saliva.

Additionally, mosquitoes don't normally travel from one person to another after ingesting blood. The insects need time to digest the blood meal before moving on.

Answer 3

What's the statistic? Is it 14% of AIDS cases that are contracted due to sharing of hypodermic needles?

Now think about this for a minute, a mosquito's proboscis is very "needle-like", isn't it?

If a mosquito just sucked blood from an AIDS infected body, then thought he'd sample a little of your blood, don't ya think you'd be at risk of contracting AIDS?

Then there's the excretion factor. When a mosquito bites you to suck your blood, he also disgorges his waste into your bloodstream. If the AIDS virus on the exterior of the mosquito's proboscis isn't enough worry, now you have that teeny tiny little puddle of poop to be concerned about.

When I asked my politically correct public school propaganda expert about getting AIDS from a mosquito, her reply was "Oh no, mosquitos don't live long enough to contract AIDS." But that's answering the wrong question, isn't it?

The correct answer is "Hell yes you can contract AIDS from an infected mosquito!"

You just can't prove it.
