Before I read in a newspaper that mosquitoes don't carry HIV, I used to be scared, But what if this is the case - How we for do am, considering that everywhere in Naija is a good breeding place for those merciless creatures. Even in VI, Ikoyi, Asokoro, e.t.c as preached by Maintain. What would you have done if Mosquitoes carry da Virus?

Where did you read that mosquitos can carry and spread HIV? Source, please.

Meanwhile, I'm rushing out to get myself a Mobil/Raid spray to murder the mosquitos in my room.

Fake news my man!
Never regard it.

Question:

Is it possible to contract HIV/AIDS from an insect bite like a mosquito or something?

Answer:

Many people think of HIV when they think of mosquitoes because they do suck our blood and move from person to person. Remember that HIV is a fragile virus that dies quickly outside the human body. It requires the fluid it is in to remain liquid for it to stay alive. This wouldn't be the case if it entered a mosquito. As a live bug, the mosquito is different from an IV drug needle, where a small amount of infected blood can be extracted from an infected person, remain unexposed to air or light, and be injected into another person unknowingly if the needle is shared before the blood dries. No digestive juices here.

If mosquitoes spread HIV we'd all be infected!

sorry but this news is false
it's so not true!
don't believe it

From medical point of view Mosquitoes lack T lymphocytes which primates have( i mean monkeys apes and others)Get it from me mosquitoes cant transmit the virus just as cows or goat blood.
We have a kind of immune cell called CD4 CD8 cells. these are the cells which the virus penetrate before we get infected.
Thats why if one is raped and reports to hospital before 3 days 72 hours she or he is put on anti retrovirals and they die before they reach the cd4cd8 cells
Its not everyone who slleps with an AIDs person gets infected cos there is what we call abortive reaction. AS in the CD4 can refuse to permit the virus
I wish to tell you more but am busy now

I will get you a site on BIOLOGY OF HIV if I get but there is much you ned to know so as to stop worrying. pls visit any scientific person lets say pathologist,lab Tech,Doc for free consultation

Mosquitoes are not capable of holdind this deadly virus for a second let alone spreadind it. Even unborn child knew this so if you dont have something meaningful to post why dont you just relax,read the post of intellegent people [color=#000099][/color]
