Can people get AIDS through insect bites?


since some insects suck human blood for food like mosquito, if they suck blood from a person that has AIDS and then switch to a healthy person, it's still fluid transmission right?

No.

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.

No you can't, I learned you couldn't in Health class.

hiv is a virus and needs the body to grow, if it was a bacteria everyone in the world would have it,

no, the insect is not able to carry the disease, its impossible. they only carry insect-prone infections like the nile virus.

No. It is transmitted by bodily fluids (i.e. semen, blood, vaginal fluid), sharing needles, and breast milk.

Yes, that's why 75% of the world's population has AIDS.
