Question: Does Mosquito Bite = HIV.? ... Read on you'll understand the question.?
So imagine you have a deep cut which has not properly healed.
And suddenly a fat mosquito filled with blood that has sucked from a HIV positive patient....comes and sit on your cut.
You smash the mosquito so all the blood inside it spreads on your wound....and you don't clean it....Do you get HIV.?
Another question: If an HIV positive girl throughs away a used tampon or pad and a dog sniffs and licks it....Does it have HIV then.?Health Question & Answer

Answers:
It is highly unlikely that the aids virus could be transmitted this way. Here is an article from the CDC on the subject:
http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/resources/qa/qa32...
In the case of your question, there could indeed be enough infected blood to transmit the disease but a) mosquitos when full of blood typically don't land on open wounds and b) the odds that the levels of virus in the blood inside the mosquito would be high enough to cause infection are extremely high.
Dogs do not get HIV. There are other immune deficiency diseases that dogs can get but the active virus is not the same. also, if a human were to sniff or lick the tampon they would not become infected either. HIV cannot be transferred through inhalation or ingestion as it is transferred through blood and/or semen to blood only.Health Question & Answer

Answer 1: There is a possibility theoretically. From theory, you can get HIV through mosquito bite if that mosquito already bite person with HIV but it's theoretically. Actually I already asked my professor about this question along time ago when I was still a junior in college. He said, theoretically, the virus can be transmitted through the bite but there is no reported case of such.
Answer 2: No, the dog won't have it. That virus is too weak that it need blood to move from one person to one person. The virus are weak but smart. The reason that we didn't find the cure till today is because they are changing and become resistance.Health Question & Answer

I highly doubt you can get HIV transmitted from a mosquito and I dont believe dogs get HIV either. Look up the CDC website for the facts and learn about HIV. It could save your life and spare you a lot of anxiety about myths of HIV.Health Question & Answer
