A member asked:
Can you get hiv if a mosquito with hiv +ve blood flew into your nose? i'm not sure if it came out or not because i didn't see it when i blew my nose
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, thankfully: Fortunately HIV does not survive in the gut of a mosquito. So even if freshly engorged with an HIV+ person's blood, transmission in this way is not possible.
