Is there any remote possibility of mosquitoes spreading HIV infection ?

no. the enzymes in the mosquito will kill it right away. i wonder why they havent figured out how to get that stuff out of the female to combat hiv....(females are the ones that bite, males don't)

The virus dies when exposed to air, so any blood on the mosquito's body would not be infectious. It lives for a very short time inside the insect's body.

A mosquito uses one tubule to inject blood thinner, and another one to suck out blood. It doesn't re-inject blood.

studies conducted by the CDC and elsewhere have shown no evidence of HIV transmission from mosquitoes or any other insects - even in areas where there are many cases of AIDS and large populations of mosquitoes. Lack of such outbreaks, despite intense efforts to detect them, supports the conclusion that HIV is not transmitted by insects.鈮?/div>
