AIDS is an illness caused by the human immunodeficiency
virus or HIV. The virus can survive in human blood and other body
fluids.
The reason behind HIV not being transmitted by
mosquitoes is the fact that mosquitoes do not inject blood that they have sucked from
one person into their next victim. The blood taken from the first person is digested by
the mosquito and this process destroys the HIV.
The viruses
of illnesses that are spread by mosquitoes are able to survive in the saliva of
mosquitoes. This is not the case with HIV.
The reasons
provided above have been corroborated by extensive studies conducted by researchers to
determine if AIDS could be spread by mosquitoes. It has always been found that HIV
cannot spread through this medium.
