Can it be possible that the mosquito can carry HIV virus?

Can it be possible that the mosquito can carry HIV virus?

There is no scientific evidence to support this.
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), mosquitoes do not inject blood when they bite. As a result, mosquitoes do not transmit the virus. What they do inject is an itch-inducing saliva that acts as a lubricant to aid blood extraction, but it does not carry the virus.

Yellow fever and malaria can be transmitted through the saliva, but HIV does not reproduce in insects, so the virus doesn't survive in the mosquito long enough to be transmitted in the saliva.

yes, very true.

no mosquito can not carry HIV virus as the disease is not caused by mosquito bites like the malaria.mosquito touches the blood stream and mosquitoes carry HIV most of us wud be HIV positive

Either way you should play it safe and never have sex with mosquitos...

No... the virus only survives in living blood cells.

If you do have sex with a mosquito, wear a condom! It might help to wrap tape round it to stop it spliting.

Think about it this way - if mosquitos could transmit HIV, then we all would be infected. Mosquitos live in every environment on earth, and every one of us has been bitten at least once in the past 25 years haven't we?

Don't worry about it!
