If a mosquito drinks blood from a person who has AIDS and then drinks again to another person...what happens?

There are three reasons listed, at the site provided below, why it is impossible for a mosquito to transfer HIV.\n\nhttp://www.rci.rutgers.edu/~insects/aids.htm\n\nHIV is a virus, and, as we’ve mentioned in other questions and answers, HIV doesn’t do so well outside the human body. Once in the mosquito, the HIV would die very quickly. The mosquito never becomes HIV-infected, and nobody has ever become HIV-infected from a mosquito bite.\n\nhttp://hivinsite.ucsf.edu/insite?page=ask-05-11-09-02\n\nWhen a mosquito ingests HIV-infected blood, the virus dies (unlike malaria, which lives in the mosquito's intestinal system and is re-injected out in its oral fluid).  The mechanical procedure of feeding wipes blood off of the mosquito's proboscis--it is retracted into a sheath.  Even in geographical areas where mosquitoes proliferate, HIV is still seen only in sexual or blood-sharing adults. \n\nhttp://www.ode.state.or.us/opportunities/grants/hklb/hiv-aids/hivqandas.aspx

HIV is a bloodborne, fluid pathogen, That means there must be an exchange of body fluid. example the person with the infection bit u and broke the skin. HIV while the majority of the virus is in the blood stream can and is spread thru other body fluids such as semen, saliva and vaginal fluids of course the other person must have abrasions, cuts, tears in order for the virus to enter their body. Remember even minute microscopic abrasion can let the virus enter your body.\n\nHope that helps and perhaps brings you some peace of mind.\nbest of luck.

Health workers who handle the body fluids of AIDS victims are at risk. Also, prior to blood screening for the virus, many people contracted the disease through transfusions. Drinking infected mother’s breast milk can infect a baby. \n\nAlong with health workers, infants, and those contracting HIV through transfusions, are many women and children caught up in many kinds of sexual abuse and slavery.

When I was in high school, we had a man come in who was HIV+ talking about the virus. He told us that small amounts of saliva won't transfer the disease; ex: kisses here and there, or sharing utinsels. Saliva will transfer it if a LOT is digested; ex: drinking a cup of spit. I know, it's kinda gross, but hopefully my point is taken.

In short, there has never been a documented case of a mosquito trans-\nmitting the AIDS virus.  The virus cannot live inside a mosquito's \ngut, and even if it did, the mosquito does not ingest enough virus \nparticles when it feeds to pose any substantial threat of transmission.

The only way for you to get hiv is through the following:\n\n1. Sexual contact with an infected person\n2. Sharing of injection needles\n3. Blood transfusion\n\nThere is very little or no chance of you getting hiv from the bite of an hiv-infected person. What you may get, however, is rabies if he has the rabies virus.

It is possible to transmit AIDS by saliva but not very often.  It's more often transmitted by blood or sexually.  AIDS is an STD.  People often transmit it by using already used needles.  It's more likely to be transmitted by kissing if you have an open wound in your mouth, like a cut on your lip.

They carry tiny amounts of blood from person to person, so they could transmit diseases. Yes, any mosquito that bites could spread disease.\n\nIt is true that it takes about a hundred times more virus particles to transmit HIV as compared to hepatitis B, so in a sense it would take about a thousand infested mosquito bites to get HIV that way.  It would be much likely to catch other diseases such as encephalitis, dengue fever, or malaria than HIV from mosquitos.

Yes. Whenever body fluids make contact with another person' body fluid, there is potential to contract any disease one another is carrying.

First of all, it would be "do mosquitos spread AIDS? Why?" (I'm sorry, but I'm a grammer freak and stuff like that bug me) Then, to answer your question, no, they do not. The amounts of blood in a mosquito are too small to carry the virus and even then they suck in blood for the most part.

If you have sex with someone and they have HIV .. yes, it doesn't matter ... either one of the kinds you speak of, it can happen, with the exchange of body fluids. Use a condom, don't have unprotected sex please. It might save your life or the life of someone else.

They get a blood sample. Their computers/scientists can detect traces of HIV in your blood. It's just a virus. They can actually see it taking over.

There is no scientific evidence to support this. \nAccording to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), mosquitoes do not inject blood when they bite. As a result, mosquitoes do not transmit the virus. What they do inject is an itch-inducing saliva that acts as a lubricant to aid blood extraction, but it does not carry the virus.\n\nYellow fever and malaria can be transmitted through the saliva, but HIV does not reproduce in insects, so the virus doesn't survive in the mosquito long enough to be transmitted in the saliva.

First off hiv needs blood.  Just simply touching something doesn't transfer the disease, they has to be broken skin and blood transfer, and then the one receiving has to have broken skin and receive the transfer on that area.  The toothbrush thing I believe was referring to people (eeewwww) that would brush their teeth and then had the brush, right then to their partner or someone else.\nIf you get infected body fluids on your person, in a faily short period of time, last time I heard it lived around 30 second, touched a cut or a orface then ya, you could, maybe get it, but that's alot of if's and maybe's.  If the disease spread that easily, we would all have it by now.  The thing I don't understand is what about mosquitoes?  They have the infected material, in their bodies, and move to the next person?  If I was to worry about something, that would be it.

Well while those are the most common way to contract AIDS, you can also get it anytime your blood or bodily fluids come into contact with someone else's blood who has AIDS. So if you were to help clean up a cut of someone who had AIDS and by chance also had a cut on your hand and their blood got into your cut there is a very good chance you would contract it as well. Any other possible way is very rare and almost certainly unlikely, because you're not gonna wear someone else's dirty underwear or anything like that, lol

Straight people get AIDS too, that's very stereo typical.  I can't believe that you said that!  Well, no, you can't get AIDS/HIV from saliva.  You can only get it from sexual fluids, blood (transfusions/"blood brothers," etc...) and if you are pregnant and have AIDS, you can give it to your child upon birth.

It is 100% immpossible to get HIV from mosquito.\n\nHIV transmitted by unprotected sex, needle sharing, needle stick,unscreened boold transfusion, vertically (during delivery to newborn), breastfeeding.\n\ncasual contact (like kissing) NEVER transmit it.\n\nOther diseases transmitted by mosquito are\nDengue fever\nyellow fever\nEncephalitis(western equine/eastern equine/california/rift valley/japenese/venezuelan equine etc.)\n\nAnd finally malaria is not caused by a virus rather a parasitic infection by Plasmodium.\n\nHope you get it.
