why mosquito do not transmitted HIV  ?

There is no actual proof showing whether they do or don't transmit HIV.\n\nThe female mosquito requires blood to lay her eggs.  If she is interrupted in the process of withdrawing blood, she may land on a different source co-mingling the two different blood sources in her own body.  If she is interrupted, say swatted or squashed while she is still withdrawing blood, some of the blood she has already withdrawn that is inside her will likely will backwash into the current source.  That is how disease is spread.\n\nWhile we are told there are no known HIV transmissions in this manner, it is technically possible.

'attrect' AIDS virus!!!!!!did u want to type 'Attract'?well,if thats so,nobody attracts the HIV virus,humas are not magnets for the HIV....there's no laws of attraction here..there's transmission...the virus which causes AIDS,HIV is transmitted through,\n1. Unprotected sexual intercourse with an infected partner. Regular and consistent use of condoms during sexual intercourse means protected sex and minimizes the chances of getting HIV and other sexually transmitted infections.\n2. Transfusion of infected blood or blood products.\n3. Use of infected needles as in injecting drug use or in health care settings.\n4. From mother to child.\n\nThe A, B, C of HIV prevention are:\nA= Abstinence\nB= Being faithful to one single partner and\nC= Consistent and correct use of condoms.\n\nI dont think there's any use of knowing the name of the 1st person who died of AIDS,but chances are he was from Africa,but there's no documented proof for that.\n\nStay Safe.

Maybe you're not very tasty!!\n\nWhy are some people more attractive to mosquitoes then others? Scientists are still investigating the complexities involved with mosquito host acceptance and rejection. Some people are highly attractive to mosquitoes and others are rarely bothered. Mosquitoes have specific requirements to satisfy and process many different factors before they feed. Many of the mosquito's physiological demands are poorly understood and many of the processes they use to evaluate potential blood meal hosts remain a mystery. Female mosquitoes use the CO2 we exhale as their primary cue to our location. A host seeking mosquito is guided to our skin by following the slip stream of CO2 that exudes from our breath. Once they have landed, they rely on a number of short range attractants to determine if we are an acceptable blood meal host. Folic acid is one chemical that appears to be particularly important. Fragrances from hair sprays, perfumes, deodorants and soap can cover these chemical cues. They can also function to either enhance or repel the host seeking drive. Dark colors capture heat and make most people more attractive to mosquitoes. Light colors refract heat and are generally less attractive. Detergents, fabric softeners, perfumes and body odor can counteract the effects of color. In most cases, only the mosquito knows why one person is more attractive than another.

As far as is known, no-one has ever caught AIDS by kissing because there is such a very small concentrate of the virus in saliva.  All known cases have been through blood contact or exchange of bodily fluids during sex.\n\nhttp://www.freewebs.com/spiritualhealing

The adult mosquito is entirely terrestrial and is capable of flying long distances. Both females and males feed on nectars which they use for energy. Males and females mate during the first 3 to 5 days after they have emerged. Females mate only once. Males generally live for only a week. Only the females feed on blood, which is what is occurring when they are biting. Females evidently gain little nourishment from blood meals but need them in order to develop eggs. Many mosquitoes feed on any warm-blooded bird or mammal. However, some prefer cold-blooded animals. Some species also prefer birds and seldom feed on mammals, which is the case with Culex spp. mosquitoes which are known to transmit the West Nile virus (WNV). Unfortunately many species feed on a wide range of warm-blooded mammals and humans are often attacked. Once a female has completely engorged she flies to a shaded environment until her eggs are completely developed, usually 3 to 5 days. Once the eggs are developed the female is called a gravid female and she begins to search for a desirable place to lay her eggs. If a female survives her egg laying activities, she will very soon start searching for another blood meal after which she will lay another batch of eggs. She does not need to mate a second time. Generally a female will only live long enough to lay 1 to 3 batches of eggs. \n\nMost mosquito species are actively searching for a blood meal in the evening hours from just before dark until 2 to 3 hours after dark. During the daytime the females normally rest in cooler vegetated areas where the humidity is higher and they are protected from drying out. Females will often bite in the daytime if humans or animals invade the wooded areas where they are resting. However, Aedes albopictus is an aggressive biter which prefers to feed during the daylight hours and is often a nuisance in urban areas.

The Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) which causes AIDS is transmitted through body fluids in particular blood, semen, vaginal secretions and breast milk. Transmission of HIV takes place in four ways: \nunprotected sexual intercourse with an infected partner (the most common); \nsharing needles when injecting or other use of contaminated injection or other skin- piercing equipment; \nblood and blood products through, for example, infected transfusions and organ or tissue transplants, \ntransmission from infected mother to child in the womb or at birth and breastfeeding. \nHIV is not transmitted by casual physical contact, coughing, sneezing and kissing, by sharing toilet and washing facilities, by using eating utensils or consuming food and beverages handled by someone who has HIV; it is not spread by mosquitoes or other insect bites.

Mosquitos prefer people with a higher iron content in thier blood. \n\npeople with low blood iron are less likly to be bitten. \n\neating bannanas for instance, before you go outside, raises your potassium and iron count, and will make you more attractive to mosquitos.

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.

No, mosquitoes cannot transmit AIDS. This is because in order for it to transfer, it would have to stay alive inside the mosquito, but it's block by it's salivary glands, so it's like, killed. This is the way for them to survive. Any mosquito that sucks an HIV positive blood, would completely kill the virus so it doesn't harm themselves. Learned this today in Science! I'm so proud I learned something!

Virus ? or Mosquitoes ?

HIV (human immunodefiencency virus) can only be transmitted through direct contact with blood or body fluids. (sexual intercourse, oral sex, sharing needles, etc.) it is unusual for HIV to be transmitted through kissing, although it is possible if one or both people have cuts, cold sores, or other open areas in the mouth or on the lips. you can not get HIV from hugging, or other contact like it. You should go to a good website for more information on HIV prevention, testing, and treatment.

HIV is unable to reproduce outside its living host (unlike many bacteria or fungi, which may do so under suitable conditions), except under laboratory conditions, it does not spread or maintain infectiousness outside its host.As soon as the HI virus is no longer in the context of a body fluid, it is extremely fragile or weak - especially when it is exposed to oxygen, heat and dryness in the atmosphere.\n\nWhile HIV cannot survive outside body fluids for very long, it can probably live outside the body for many hours if it is body fluid like blood, or fluids containing blood.

Although researchers have found HIV in the saliva of infected people, there is no evidence that the virus is spread by contact with saliva. Laboratory studies reveal that saliva has natural properties that limit the power of HIV to infect, and the amount of virus in saliva appears to be very low. Research studies of people infected with HIV have found no evidence that the virus is spread to others through saliva by kissing. The lining of the mouth, however, can be infected by HIV, and instances of HIV transmission through oral intercourse have been reported. \n\nScientists have found no evidence that HIV is spread through sweat, tears, urine, or feces.

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.

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.

They have their own STD. \n\nBut thinking more about your question, I would say I do not know. Because too little humans are sick zoophilics, who could try this way, no material for big generalisations. Besides they had to be bi- in certain sense, for could catch a disease afroma human nd transmit it to animal... \n\nSome theories say that HIV passed from apes, so why some viruses and microbes could not do be passed (including mutations) to animals? Really probable thing.

Most female mosquitoes do not have the proper levels of protein produce viable eggs.  So, they drink blood in order to increase protein levels.  Male mosquitoes do not drink blood.
