Do you think that you can catch HIV/AIDS from a mosquito?
I heard that they can get the blood from one person and carry it to another.But what I hear today is that HIV can only be received by bodily fluids!
Answers: 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.
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.

NO definitely not. The mosquito does not reinject the blood it eats.
no... the only ways HIV/AIDS can be transfered is through
1.blood
2.semen
3.vaginal fluid

no
A mosquito does not have the body temperature to pass the aids virus on as the aid virus would die in the mosquito. So the answer would be no.
