Answer 20

Well that's the misconception dear !

Answer 21

well as I learned it in college........ Mosquitos are vectors of HIV. Monkeys are too.

Answer 22

When a mosquito bites someone, `it does not inject its own blood or the blood of an animal or person it has bitten into the next person it bites.` The mosquito does inject saliva, which acts as a lubricant so that it can feed more effectively. Yellow fever and malaria can be transmitted through the saliva, but HIV does not reproduce in insects, so the virus doesn't survive in the mosquito long enough to be transmitted in the saliva.
Additionally, mosquitoes don't normally travel from one person to another after ingesting blood. The insects need time to digest the blood meal before moving on.
