Mosquitoes can never act as carriers of HIV from one person to another. As the name of the virus suggests (human immunodeficiency virus), the human immune system is what is at a disadvantage. Mosquitoes feast on human blood thereby subjecting the blood cells to their own digestive system in which case the HIV virus is destroyed within the mosquitoes' body.

Mosquitoes can`t spread Aids because their digestive system usually kill the viruses. You only can be contaminated by Aids when in direct contact with blood or other corporal fluids from someone who already has the disease.

I have read many articles in web about HIV Aids. Mosquitoes can't spread the virus and Aids.
Firstly, Mosquitoes themselves can't be infected by these kind of viruses becz mosquitoes cant not supply the kind of protein the virus needs to breed and multiply itself. Hence the viruses which invade into mosquito's system will have to die.
Secondly, If we consider the mosquitoes as a virus carrier, the live virus shall die within a fraction of second sooner it was exposed to outside temp.

Dear Friend,
There is no chance of Spreading AIDS through mosquitoes, because far as i know the infacted person only spread AIDS if any other person directly comes in body to body contact throush deep kiss, or during intercause if the infacted person's genital is bleeding due to scare or something like that there is very least chance of spread of AIDS if direct skin to skin contact is not done when the skin of Infacted person is bleeding due to scare or injury.
AIDS does not spread through saving razors, towels sharing touching AIDS infacted person or hugging or external lip kiss.

I am well educated in this concern, i have participated in awareness programmes in many times and i am having enough knowledge in this same, upto my knowledge muscuitos wont spread this. There is not that chances if it possible our immunity power is active in that time and it kills all the viruses first time and there is no way to spread in this way.Am sure on this point.
