Can mosquitoes transmit aids like malaria ?

Unlikely: Hiv is a blood-borne and mucosal membrane transmitted disease, but the transmission by mosquitoes is very unlikely since HIV infection requires very high quantities of the infection to truly get someone infected. This is a remote possibility, but i would think it almost impossible.

Never reported.: Mosquitoes are not a vector for HIV. The virus is too fragile to remain alive in a mosquito.
