Hello- Mosquito can not transmit HIV as the HIV (virus) when it comes within the contact of mosquitos saliva. Only saliva is injected into humans when a mosquito bites and thus HIV positive blood that a mosquito may have previously ingested is never transmitted to other humans. Unlike mosquito borne diseases, HIV is unable to replicate within the mosquito's gut and therefore is broken down.

Dear Lybrate user. Never. Mosquito do not have the capacity to carry HIV just because the virus cannot survive inside mosquito body. No risk of HIV at all. Don't panic. Take care.
