Mosquitoes. They can spread malaria...Do you think they spread things like HIV?

I dont see how they coudnt!!!

Only the gay mosquitos.

They could be QUITE the handy terror tool...mosquito bugs that is.

Nope, the virus is too week to survive in em. I heard that in the 80's anyway.

I dunno mosquitoes are shady,I wouldn't put it past them.

Oh shit i am fucked. I do not know why mosquitos love me so much, but if there are 100 persons around me and only one mosquito, you can bet your ass the mosquito will bite me. It has always been that way, they fucking love me.

HIV is an extremely fragile virus which needs the proper environment to stay viable. Malaria is a bacteria which maintains viability in the mosquitoe.

Depending on the time it took between bites of the infected person and the uninfected person, I'd say it's definitely possible...


But maybe it can't live too long between bites, cuz they puke up what they eat and eat it again, ect...


If it was possible I'd say there'd be a lot more cases of it...


But it's definitely disturbing, yeah.

I was just thinking that it's a little bit like a hypodermic needle...

Those definitely transmit disease...

Sorry to burst the bubble, but wouldn't we have all sorts of viral diseases from mosquitos then?

Herpes, common cold/Influenza, Ebola, Hanta.


Yikes!

Thinking about this again -

Mosquitos drink blood to digest.... digestion breaks down proteins into aminos so they can be rebuilt, etc. So no possibilities of viral transmission.

However, they also "shit" inside of you - relieve their wastes. In that waste is bacteria, malaria being one of them.

Oops - I am so wrong. This is from wikipedia:
(forgot about West Nile!)

Mosquitoes are estimated to transmit disease to more than 700 million people annually in Africa, South America, Central America, Mexico and much of Asia with millions of resulting deaths. In Europe, Russia, Greenland, Canada, the United States, Australia, New Zealand, Japan and other temperate and developed countries, mosquito bites are now mostly an irritating nuisance; but still cause some deaths each year.[24] Historically, before mosquito transmitted diseases were brought under control, they caused tens of thousands of deaths in these countries and hundreds of thousands of infections.[25] Mosquitoes were shown to be the method by which yellow fever and malaria were transmitted from person to person by Walter Reed, William C. Gorgas and associates in the U.S. Army Medical Corps first in Cuba and then around the Panama Canal in the early 1900s.[26][27] Since then other diseases have been shown to be transmitted the same way.

The mosquito genus Anopheles carries the malaria parasite (see Plasmodium). Worldwide, malaria is a leading cause of premature mortality, particularly in children under the age of five, with around 5.3 million deaths annually, according to the Centers for Disease Control. Some species of mosquito can carry the filariasis worm, a parasite that causes a disfiguring condition (often referred to as elephantiasis) characterized by a great swelling of several parts of the body; worldwide, around 40 million people are living with a filariasis disability. The viral diseases yellow fever and dengue fever are transmitted mostly by Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. Other viral diseases like epidemic polyarthritis, Rift Valley fever, Ross River Fever, St. Louis encephalitis, West Nile virus (WNV), Japanese encephalitis, La Crosse encephalitis and several other encephalitis type diseases are carried by several different mosquitoes. Eastern equine encephalitis (EEE) and Western equine encephalitis (WEE) occurs in the United States where it causes disease in humans, horses, and some bird species. Because of the high mortality rate, EEE and WEE are regarded as two of the most serious mosquito-borne diseases in the United States. Symptoms range from mild flu-like illness to encephalitis, coma and death.[28] Viruses carried by arthropods such as mosquitoes or ticks are known collectively as arboviruses. West Nile virus was accidentally introduced into the United States in 1999 and by 2003 had spread to almost every state with over 3,000 cases in 2006.

There has NEVER been one single case of HIV transmitted via a mosquitoe bite. NOT ONE.

In fact, if you're in a sex club getting sodomized by three or four guys you've never seen before while you're stoned out of your mind on TINA, and you get bit by a mosquitoe - Guess what made your test turn Positive? HINT: It wasn't the mosquitoes.

How could you raise such a dumb question. If it were that easy to catch half the world or more would already be infected. And they're not.

Mosquitoes, not as frequently as dental tools at your dentist's office - they frequently forget to sterilize them.

Excellent point, back in the 80's in Florida, there was a case where it seems the patient was infected with HIV virus from a dental procedure.

Of course mad cow disease prions can still be transmitted via infected dental equipment, as the temps recommended to sterilise the tools simply aren't high -hot enough to do so.

Of all the BS

I've heard that prions are indestructible with sterilization procedures ineffective. Prions cause something similar to madcow disease and they are not a germ, bacteria, virus, fungus -- not anything known to be a living organism. And the best way to be contaminated by them is dental tools! Don't ask your dentist or he'll think you're crazy. Solution: buy or pay for brand new ones to be used.

Actually, I researched this prion scare and pretty much concluded it wasn't a threat but can't remember the details. We don't hear about it any more, do we?

HOWEVER, please start to educate yourself to the fact that HIV is a total HOAX. Healthy people can be HIV positive. (Hint -- THINK PROFIT, PROFIT, PROFIT for the powers that be.) It does not cause AIDS. Not only that but AIDS is a hoax. When an "AIDS" person dies it isn't from AIDS but from some other cause. They lumped at least 20 diseases together under the AIDS umbrella. Those susceptible to auto-immune diseases are those who suffer malnutrition and starvation from famine and from drug abuse. A study was done that found that 100% of gay men with AIDS had used nitrate inhalers and other enhancement type drugs. I'm no expert but I believe that homosexuals have been terrorized by AIDS propaganda. Also, the powers that be wanted us to believe that AIDS was spread in Africa because they are so promiscuous. How horrible to attribute that to the victims of genocide through starvation and famine! Any one of us will contract "AIDS" (one of many auto-immune diseases) if we are driven into refuge camps and starved to death.

So, gentle reader, relax and know that there is absolutely no way that you can ever "catch" HIV or "AIDS" from a mosquitoes or any person.

I remember the aids mosquito scare in the 80s

catching aids from aedes in the eighties

drove the weight loss candy out of business my mom ate aids

Yeah I remember the weightloss candy, that was really good.

Well in an epidemiology hosted meeting in the early 80's I asked that question about mosquito transmission and at that time it was ruled out. (At least that is what the epidemiology at the State level had been apprised of)

But the epidemiologist also theorized that again, if there were to be some kind of unforseen mutation that of course that mode of transmission could theoretically be different if the virus was no longer what it was at the time, or the mosquitoes for that matter. All about mutations.

When I first heard about AIDS I was terrified. I really worried about mosquitoes. "They" tell you, blood to blood contact will do it -- so a mosquito takes blood from someone with "AIDS" -- that drop of blood will have the virus in it -- right? And Wammo it injects you when it sucks your blood -- or you catch the virus thru casual contact like drinking out of the same glass or a simple kiss on the lips. What about touching that pen the AIDS person just handed you? (Hurry and wash your hands when he's not looking!)

AIDS IS A TOTAL HOAX. THERE IS NO AIDS VIRUS. SAY THIS OUT LOUD, THERE IS NO AIDS VIRUS. Yes, people have been getting auto-immune diseases for a long time but in the 80's or so "the experts" decided to lump about 20 of these together and invent the AIDS HOAX.

I grew up with the terror of being vaporized by nukes in the 50'S -- actually up to this day!, Vietnam War in the 60's and then in the 80's terrorized by the AIDS scare and then 2001 came the 9-11 terrorist hoax and war and now we're being terrorized financially. (Oh, remember the Y2K blah, blah, blah every time you turned on the TV?) Oh yes, just a few years ago California was doing great financially until the state got raped by Enron and the energy companies. I REALIZE THAT ALL THESE THINGS ARE TOTAL LIES AND HOAXES -- to keep us perpetually traumatized by fabricated terror in one form or another.

Let's break free! Let's do it!

LOL, they are shady.... you would never know they were there until you notice the bump from the bite.

And they will bite you while you are sleeping if they get a chance!

How about fleas? They are also blood-suckers. And ticks. If ticks can spread Lyme disease, why not lots of other things as well?

Maybe Vampire bats can...and earwigs, but I don't think mosquitoes can.....

A doctor told me that, yes, theoretically this can happen.

He thinks that there is some evidence to support this theory, but that it's being suppressed.

Mosquitos can spread everything but the wealth LOL

They must be good for some thing ?
cross pollination, frog food,
interesting how its only the females that bite !

What if???? What if a person got bit by a Zombie and hasn't turned yet, then got stung/bit/stuck by a Mosquito. Then the Mosquito then struck another person who wasn't infected by the Zombie virus. Would that person die and turn into a Zombie too from the Mosquito?

well duh its only obvious
