Una pregunta



Question:

Se que el sida no se puede transmitir por medio de los mosquitos. Pero quisiera saber Exactamente por que no? Se que por la picadura no se puede, pero el mosquito que hace con la sangre que succiona? al succionarla el virus muere adentro de el? si mato al mosquito y la sangre que me queda no tengo ningun peligro al tocarme las mucosas?.


Respuesta:

Estimado Amigo-a:

No y definitivamente no. Se tiene que hacer algo mas que haber sido picado por un mosquito o haber matado un mosquito para contagiarse. El virus no se puede replicar dentro del mosquito.

Saludos
