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 can spread a range of infections, such as malaria and dengue fever, but they are not able to transmit HIV. This is because: They lack the human T-cells needed in the body for the virus to replicate and survive, which means they cannot be infected with HIV.
