No: Mosquitoes do not carry HIV. You can't get it from an insect called a Mosquito. Only human to human transmission through blood borne products, direct contact, unsafe sex practices, sharing needles. These are examples of the most common ways to become infected with Human Immunodeficiency Disease (HIV)
