No. There has been no indication from numerous tests and field research that HIV can be transmitted by mosquitoes. Please refer to
ive always heard that mosquitoes only eat once... that the life cycle (past larva) gis fly around.. eat once.. lay eggs.. then die.. if this is true, IT CANT be possible. no blood mixing goin on SOMEBODY CORRECT ME IF IM WRONG PLEASE
Female mosquitoes can take another blood meal after they lay eggs from a previous blood meal.
If that were the case, how could they be a vector? The spread of Dengue typifies the repetitive feeding cycles. In densely human populated urban areas the females feed, or partially feed, several times before laying eggs. Ever swatted one that was about to munch you that was already full of blood? In crowded urban areas the Aedes mosquitoes undergo a feeding frenzy, with sometimes only a few mosquitoes infecting several dozen people in the space of a day or two during the wet (mosquito) season. The disease spreads out into less densely human populated areas and gradually fades out until the next year. Dengue, being a virus, infects the gut of the mosquito then after 8 to 10 days the disease spreads to the salivary glands and is viable and ready to spread with each subsequent bite. With the anopheles, the malarial parasite goes through a partial life cycle within the mosquito and it takes 10 to 21 days before the parasite can be transmitted to a new host.
