can HIV transmit from the bite site of mosquito ?!
hi,i have a silly question i know that it seems stupid but i wanna know!i've read in this forum that hiv cant transmit by mosquito ,i know hiv will be inactive in mosquitos stomach ,,but what about blood that remained on the bite site of mosquito ?i mean if a mosquito meal the blood of hiv + person and after few second bite another person can it transmit hiv? because the bite site (mouth) of mosquito should be bloody when bite a person,then mosquito inject bite in another person body ?!!?hiv cant be inactive just in few second.i got so confused please help me.thanks
It doesn't matter where you live there is always going to be syringes laying about in parks and on the streets,this is the world we live in.Don't be afraid of this because they can't infect you unless you share IV drug works with them.
yeah you are right ,thanks again for answered me so quickly ,last time i asked a question here and you two told me that you were not at risk (it was about blood in water!) but i was still worry to death!then after 8 month i took a test the result came back negative !so i accept whatever you tell me.people in this street that i'm living on,sharing needle and i sometimes see needles on the street !!these things are cause my obsession on this virus ,i agree with what you say more than doctors because you are usually here and answer to many people and have many experience more than doctors ,doctors just see 1% risk and say go for test!not just for hiv another diseases too !FEAR IS NOT FACT ,thank :)
fear is not fact...and the FACT of the matter is, hiv is not transmitted through insects.
thank you rainlover ,thank you lizzie ,thanks so much,i really don't know from where the hell these thought come in my head and make me stupid ,i knew that Insects can't transmit hiv but i was just worry about bite site of Insects (the site where inject to body) ,i thought when the mosquito inject the bite into the body and meal the blood ,the bite site(around the bite (mouth)) should be bloody then it can inject it again to another person body!!!i think i have obsession on this virus ,it's better that i visit a psychologist!because i still think that it is possible but very very low risk!! we have many mosquitos here so i have problems to be in a public places! !(sorry for my english if it is not that good)
Missed the ''can't '' part--sorry.Insects don't transmit HIV under any circumstance.
"i've read in this forum that hiv cant transmit by mosquito"
CORRECT...and there are no scenarios that you can create that will make this a risk.
hiv is transmitted through...
unprotected vaginal / anal intercourse
sharing iv drug works
mother to child

You read on this forum that mosquitos transmit HIV--I don't think so.Insects don't transmit HIV.It's a human virus.Please educate yourself about the modes of HIV transmission.
