Can mosquitos carry the AIDS Virus?!
Question:
Can mosquitos carry the AIDS Virus?
i was outside with a person who had AIDS and there were a lot of mosquitos. Is it possible that it can be given to me from the mosquitos after they bit the person with AIDS.
Answers:
No. Researchers have found that mosquitoes digest the virus that causes AIDS, completely destroying any virus particles. In addition, HIV circulates at very low levels in the blood. An AIDS-free individual would have to be bitten by 10 million AIDS-infected mosquitoes in order to receive one unit of HIV.
