A. No. HIV is called the Human Immunodeficiency Virus because it can survive and replicate only inside the human body, and it is transmitted from person to person through the blood or body fluids of an infected individual. Since HIV is not an insect-borne disease, it cannot be transmitted by mosquitoes, bugs, or other insects that bite an HIV-infected person.
