 Thanks for the question, There's absolutely no risk from the situation you're describing. An easy way to think of it all is that mosquitos only draw up blood, they do not deposit it. Also, even if they did, it wouldn't be enough to carry enough HIV to transmit to another person. Other diseases can pass this way, but not HIV. Hope this helps! Erik | ||||||||
