Question

i mean the needle on it nose still has the disease on them so if it sticks you on your skin you might get it but i wanna know in that is possible!!!

Answer 1

I had this question once before, myself :)

But thankfully, no. You can't get AIDS from a mosquito bite.
(I can see how it miiiight be possible if you smacked the mosquito and smeared the blood into a cut - but even that would be very unlikely, wouldn't it?)

Answer 2

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 3

No, quite simply, AIDS is not that easy to transmit. The virus is actually very fragile and can not survive outside the body longer than 30 minutes or so. Hepatitis maybe, AIDS no.

Answer 4

According to the Centers for Disease Control, the answer is no:
