can mosquito get infected after sucking HIV + blood.?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

HIV is specific to humans.

The HIV virus, once absorbed into the mosquito would be digested - destroying the virus.

Usually a infective agent needs to include the mosquito as part of it's life cycle (in other words, is designed to used the mosquito's physiology) to infect other creatures.

Answer 3

No they cant. Mosquitoes can only suck up blood and not regurgitate the blood into another host. And their "Mouth" is too small to carry enough HIV+ blood cells to infect a person unlike syringes. That and mosquito has digestive enzymes that kills the virus since the virus cant find things to infect inside the mosquito.

Answer 4

where i live, we have like the 2-3 highest rate of HIV/AIDS in the world n we have so much mosquitoes "omg"... thing is, if it could've been transferred like that we would all be infected. HIV/AIDS is not transmitted that way. You placed the question under "STD's" which btw is correct but the "S" does stand for "sexually" therefore HIV/AIDS would only be transmitted through sexual intercourse or direct contact with someone infected or like needles etc but not mosquitoes. When a mosquito transmits a disease agent from one person to another, the infectious agent must remain alive inside the mosquito until transfer is completed. If the mosquito digests the parasite, the transmission cycle is terminated and the parasite cannot be passed on to the next host. Successful mosquito-borne parasites have a number of interesting ways to avoid being treated as food. Some are refractory to the digestive enzymes inside the mosquito's stomach; most bore their way out of the stomach as quickly as possible to avoid the powerful digestive enzymes that would quickly eliminate their existence. Malaria parasites survive inside mosquitoes for 9-12 days and actually go through a series of necessary life stages during that period. Encephalitis virus particles survive for 10-25 days inside a mosquito and replicate enormously during the incubation period. Studies with HIV clearly show that the virus responsible for the AIDS infection is regarded as food to the mosquito and is digested along with the blood meal. As a result, mosquitoes that ingest HIV-infected blood digest that blood within 1-2 days and completely destroy any virus particles that could potentially produce a new infection. Since the virus does not survive to reproduce and invade the salivary glands, the mechanism that most mosquito-borne parasites use to get from one host to the next is not possible with HIV.

Answer 5

No, HIV is specific for Humans. Thats the why they call it Human Immunodeficiency Virus. Mosquitoes can't even be carriers of the virus. It could be acquired through direct inoculation of infected body fluids.

Answer 6

they won't get infected with hiv. that is, the mosquito won't come down with it, but the virus can live for awhile in the mosquito's gut.

Answer 7

NO: The virus is to large for the mosquito to suck it up, 'nugh said. This question keeps coming up every year.

Answer 8

Nope

Answer 9

no, but the other person who get sucked by it will be infected

Answer 10

no.. HIV's does not affect animals or insects.. its only in humans..
