A member asked:
If a mosquito bites a person infected with aids, and after half an hour it bites a healthy person, will it be transmitted in this way?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
HIV has never been known or reported to be transmitted by insect bites of any kind. Rumors like that were common when AIDS first became common in the 1980s, but were disproved all those years ago. Nothing to worry about.
