No. The mosquito actually eats the blood. The viral particles are destroyed in its stomach.
2 :
No. It is not possible at all. 1. Mosquitoes digest the AIDS virus. 2. Mosquitoes do not take up enough HIV particles for transmission. For more information feel free to read this journal article by a Rutgers University entomologist. http://www.rci.rutgers.edu/~insects/aids.htm
3 :
no but,,,kissing another with teeth that bleed may. Think about it,blood transfusion in the obvious spot.
