As we all know, mosquito bites can infect many diseases, so many people worry that they can also infect AIDS, but in fact, mosquitoes are unable to transmit AIDS.
Research shows that HIV neither develops nor reproduces in mosquitoes, so it cannot be transmitted through biology. Mechanical transmission methods are not suitable for mosquitoes. This is because before sucking blood, mosquitoes first spit out saliva from the salivary duct (as a lubricant to suck blood), and then inhale blood from the esophagus. The blood is sucked in in one direction, and after inhalation, it no longer spits out.
In addition, the blood left on the mouth of the mosquito is only 0.00004 milliliters, which can cause HIV infection only after 2800 repeated bites. Moreover, even if the mosquito breathes the blood with AIDS virus, the AIDS virus can be digested and destroyed by the mosquito within 2 to 3 days and completely disappear. According to the physiological characteristics of mosquitoes, after sucking blood, they must fully digest it before sucking blood.
At present, there are no reports of mosquitoes or insect bites infected with AIDS worldwide. If mosquitoes can transmit AIDS, then the incidence of AIDS should be seasonal and children prone, but this is not the case. If a large number of mosquitoes have HIV and animal bites are tested at the same time, even if they are successful, people and animals are different in many ways, which still does not indicate that mosquito bites can transmit AIDS.
