The Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) can be contracted in two ways: exchange of foreign blood containing the virus and through sexual contact with a carrier of the virus. I know HIV can be contracted from reused needles. Mosquitos use certain needlelike apparati (if thats a word...) to extract blood. Mosquitos, as we all know, go to many people to get blood, thus injecting each host with the same "stinger" (I dont know the official name of the needle). So, is it possible to contract HIV from Mosquitos and other types of parasites or bloodsuckers?

Thanks and God Bless.

  1. Actually I think They can and also give you elephantiasis if they are infected. I mean if a mosquito is infected and it bites you its likely that you can get it just from the blood, just a human getting it from another human I guess but I don't know what these other people are talking about Look it up carefully.


  2. No they cannot transmit HIV
