What does the malaria mosquitoe has to contribute to the spread of HIV?
Where is soucre of origin of the virus

It's speculated that HIV originated in Africa, as a variant of Simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV). The best estimates put the origin back in the 1930s or so. The disease is primarily sexually transmitted or transmitted through shared needles, and the rampant spread in Africa has to do with social conditions there. Mosquitoes are not efficient vectors of HIV, if at all, because injested blood does not get regurgitated into a second human.
HIV was not created in a lab, the first confirmed cases were described in 1959, not long after we finally figured out what DNA was. Long before we had the technology to understand let alone manipulate a retrovirus. The government does and covers up a lot of crap, making killer viruses is not one of them. Putting out and supporting crackpot conspiracy theories like this one just makes you look stupid.

they think it originated with monkeys in Africa,...maybe someone got bit by monkey or ate an infected monkey and that the virus evolved into another human HIV form from there. There was a TV special that told about how they traced a lot of the HIV spread to ONE gay steward on an airline who had a "honey in every port" (so to speak) . The CDC tracked it thru the genetics of a strain of the HIV virus. The steward had no clue he was even sick...but people were dying elsewhere..
I have not heard of the vaccine story...vaccines are usually made from eggs...

Malaria mosquitoes not involved with HIV, its not a carrier for the virus. Up till now the spread of the virus is limited with the ways well known to every one. Just take care in beauty saloons, try to use your own tools.

Its origin was Fort Dettrick in Maryland. See EMERGING VIRUS'S AIDS AND EBOLA by Horowitz. It was developed about 50 years ago. It was in a vaccine that the 'World Health Organization' used in that part of Africa. (See William Campbell Douglas' report "WHO killed Africa!" (It is not a question) )Scientists certainly don't know everything, so there might well be means of transmission they don't know about. Aids is easily curable (See Douglass) but not by a pharmaceutical, so they aren't pushing the cure.

Sounds like you want folks from Yahoo! Answers to write up a term paper for you.
