well, you need neither be safe nor be sorry!
i am doing a project on AIDS and have a wide database collected.
according to study, hiv virus cannot survive outside body conditions (or body fluids).
HIV is not spread by biting insects such as mosquitoes or bedbugs.

(if u are thinking about y contaminated needles spread the virus, here's the explanation:
HIV is frequently spread among injection drug users by the sharing of needles or syringes contaminated with very small quantities of blood from someone infected with the virus.
It is rare, however, for a patient to give HIV to a health care worker or vice-versa by accidental sticks with contaminated needles or other medical instruments. )

cheer up! play it safe!!

The HIV virus is not actually that robust and dies pretty quickly outside of the body that's why it requires very intimate contact to be passed on. It is very difficult to get it form saliva alone and the processes of digestion that would take place in an insect like a flea or a Mosquito before they pierced the skin of another person would render it ineffective. This is what the CDC (Centre for Disease Control) have to say: 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. Diseases such as yellow fever and malaria are transmitted through the saliva of specific species of mosquitoes. However, HIV lives for only a short time inside an insect and, unlike organisms that are transmitted via insect bites, HIV does not reproduce (and does not survive) in insects. Thus, even if the virus enters a mosquito or another insect, the insect does not become infected and cannot transmit HIV to the next human it bites.

It's one of those not probable, but possible scenarios. I'm sure somewhere somehow worldwide, someone has been infected by this method. Only in everyday life it is not likely. Studies have been done on this, proving it all but impossible. However, if you're sitting next to a person who is HIV+ and a misq starts to bite this person and that person swats the misq awat at the exact right moment, then the misq goes right over seconds later and injects you, it would be possible. The reaons is because the miq did not have time during the first bite to injest all the blood as is was interupted. Then he sticks you with the infected needle. It could happen.

Mosquitos are a dreadful scourge and do spread diseases like West Nile, Malaria and others but thankfully they do not spread HIV.

I believe the nature of the HIV virus prevents mosquitoes from being a vector for its' spread.

Mosquitoes are found to clean the blood in their tentacles after they bite a person. so when they bite another person they dont inject the blood into them , they only suck blood. So due to their cleaning habit , they dont tend to spread HIV.

Studies suggest that they don't, but better to be safe than sorry. Use mosquitoe repellant.
