Some people argue that the needle-like mouth of the mosquito could lift the virus from one person and inject it into another. This is not possible. The mosquito does not inject blood. The mosquito sucks out blood from a person, and that blood goes into its stomach. When it bites another person, it does not inject the first person’s blood into the second person, but only saliva from its salivary glands. Mosquito saliva does not contain HIV. Unlike malaria, the virus does not develop in the mosquito and is not present in its saliva. HIV only multiplies in human cells. In the name itself we can know i.e. AIDS is an ACQUIRED SYNDROM and not a SPREAD SYNDROME. Read further --
Human immunodeficiency virus or HIV is a retrovirus that causes Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS), a condition in which the immune system begins to fail, leading to life-threatening opportunistic infections. Previous names for the virus include Human T-Lymphotropic Virus-III (HTLV-III) and lymphadenopathy-associated virus (LAV).
Infection with HIV occurs by the transfer of blood, semen, vaginal fluid, or breast milk. Within these body fluids HIV is present as both free virus particles and virus within infected immune cells. The three major routes of transmission are sexual intercourse, contaminated needles and transmission from an infected mother to her baby at birth or through breast milk. Screening of blood products for HIV in the developed world has largely eliminated transmission through blood transfusions or infected blood products in these countries.

Because AIDS is transmitted sexually and by unsterlized syringes and also from a infected mother to the baby.The virus does not flow in the blood as the others, they reside in the body and rupture the cells.That is why a mosquito which is a vector to most of the disease are not able to spread this disease.

The amount of blood injected by a mosquito bite is not sufficient to produce AIDS.

AIDS does not spread through mosquito bite ,because the blood which the mosquito sucks is digested by it.

There is something in the mosquito's body that does not allow the virus to survive, so therefore, it can't be spread, unlike maleria.

when mosquito's byte he does not eject blood ,he suck blood .therefore the HIV virus are not able to enter in healthy human body.
