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
only someone infected can transfer it to another person.
HIV binds to T cells in a person and replicates.
but mosquito does not have T cells. so naturally it gets broken down and gets digested instead.
so mosquito cannot get infected and cannot infect others.
