Does HIV spread by Mosquito bite?

Yes i also got astonished by knowing this first. But this was declared by WHO. Chances are there in this way only malaria, dengue or disease spread. Do you know that? Anyhow we got to be careful

Yes I was also shocked by knowing that. First i did not believe it but when it was stated by WHO then I had to believe it. No when mosquito dips it probasis and sucks the blood, outer region of the probasis comes into contact with the bacteria or virus present in the blood, which is responsible for the spread of plasmodium protozoan(malaria parasite) and dengue. I never heard about HIV spreading but this is the first time. This was telecasted in the news of many channels.

Yes, you are right. First I also had few doubts about it. HIV virus can prevail in the human body conditions, when its exposed to the atmospheric conditions, it cannot survive. This was declared by WHO recently and it was a hot topic in the media. You know what researchers are telling? since HIV can survive in hot conditions they claim that mosquito also has hot blood. When the mosquito sucks the blood of a HIV infected person HIV will enter into mosquito, when this infected mosquito bites a normal person there are few chances of getting infected if his immune system is poor. Yes as said by you its still dubious. Anyhow we got to be very cautious now a days. Thanks

So is the World Health Organization still "out" on this one, or are they suggesting that the risk is very low, if not negligible? I know that the HIV virus can live outside the human body (say, in a drain) for a number of hours, but perhaps the physiology of a misquito is not condusive to its survival for more than a few minutes, etc.? Regardless, with West Nile Virus and Maleria, we need to protect ourselves from the little buggers PERIOD.

Nice to see ur discussion. I am also Biology student. M.S.Molecuar biology. Yes u are right, it is still in confusion state.

No u are wrong. When Plasmodium is the protozoan of mosquito why human is getting malaria. Here mosquito will be just actin g as a carrier. Mosquito has no role with the parasite but it will act as a barrier between humans and protozoa. This was declared by WHO, announced in many news channels.

Yes reasearch is going on that. Chances are there we cannot rule out. Final outcome has to come. This was declared by WHO. Thanks for response to my discussion.

Yes i too know that. First i could not believe that but when i came to know that it was declared by WHO, I had to. They mentioned that scientists are carrying research on this issue. Thanks for the reply

Yes. But scientists are suspecting it. It is tough to say anything right now with out any concrete results. Research is going on it.

Chances are not ruled out yet. Concrete result has not obtained till now.

Yes. Still it's in finding.

Sure i will let you know if i get anything new finding about it. Presently it is the hot subject in the news.

May be, this issue is still under research. They are no concrete results. This was declared by WHO.
