Question http://isitnormal.com/story/22257/ yeah, let me know what the doc says... I'm curious. Heh you know alot about mosquitoes. And they just hand out needles in the UK' isn't that just furthering another problem' http://isitnormal.com/story/22257/#comment-238150 2008-01-25 14:51:34 It is actually a very good question. When you think mosquito's spread malairia to humans, theoretically, I would have though that by jumping from one human to another it could do likewise with HIV. However, the fact is, they inject a liquid before sucking blood and that is what gives you the itch later. That same liquid cleans the tube, upon retraction, of ant signs of blood. I am 99% positive on this but if you want to raise the question after 15th Feb, I will ask my specialist for the official answer to this question. As for shareing needles. The reason that passes on HIV is because some blood get sucked into the syringe when used to administer illicit drugs. It leaves a small depost inside the syringe and on the needle. Hence you are actually getting a double chance of passing it on/catching it fron this form of drug sharing parafanealia. That is why they have set up free needle exchanges in the UK. To help cut out that means of spreading HIV. I hope that helps. http://isitnormal.com/story/22257/#comment-238038 2008-01-25 12:41:04 They can spread other diseases like malaria. I wouldnt chance it anyway http://isitnormal.com/story/22257/#comment-237816 2008-01-24 19:18:31 *outside* http://isitnormal.com/story/22257/#comment-237782 2008-01-24 18:40:19 But it probably is... how can you know it's not' If sharing needles can spread HIV, then theoretically a hungry mosquito could carry a small amount on it's mouth. http://isitnormal.com/story/22257/#comment-237780 2008-01-24 18:39:22 I think its theoretically possible. http://isitnormal.com/story/22257/#comment-237770 2008-01-24 18:30:43 Don't y'all be sharin' dem pancakes and spreddin' dem duh-seases 'round now, oh Lowdy Lowdy Lowdy! http://isitnormal.com/story/22257/#comment-237758 2008-01-24 18:23:48 no not true hiv can only live at sied of the body for 10 mins http://isitnormal.com/story/22257/#comment-237745 2008-01-24 18:14:21
