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.

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.

aids will not be spread by mosquito because,aids will spread only by the reasons like having sex with more than three persons (male or female),having transferring untested bloods and having using un screemed blood etc..IT will not spread by mosquito.

"Del S" is mixing up bees and the mosquito. Mosquito jump from object to object and spread deceases, it is a blessing that it does not pass AIDS from person to person but does pass other deceases and kill lots of people every year.

Simply, once a mosquito has bitten somebody it won't last long in its lifetime. It will die after sucking blood.
