AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) is not an infectious disease. AIDS is caused by a virus known as HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus.) HIV is transmitted through direct contact with an infected person's blood, semen, vaginal fluid or breast milk. HIV does not live outside the human body for any substantial period of time and cannot be transmitted by any other animal or insect, including mosquitos. HIV relies on the cells and conditions inside the human body to live, and the process by which mosquitos bite humans and consume their blood does not allow for exposure to the disease.
