Can I get HIV if a mosquito has bitten someone with HIV? Why or why not? Does it make a difference if the person is standing beside me and the mosquito bites me after biting them?
In: Biology
Mosquitoes aren’t like sharing a syringe. None of the blood they drink comes into contact with their next victim. The only infections they can spread are the ones that can make their way from their stomachs to their salivary glands. There are several infections that have specialized into this, but HIV is not one of them.
