Best Answer

Insects such as mosquitoes, flies, ticks, fleas, bees, and wasps cannot spread HIV. If an insect bites a person with HIV, the virus dies as the insect digests the blood. HIV is only able to live in human cells.

Can a negative person get HIV by being bitten by a positive person?

If the skin is broken and blood flows, then yes, the bitten person can probably get HIV from an infected person who bit them. If the skin is not broken and/or no contaminated blood gets into the clean person, then no the bit person will probably not get HIV. Just have a check up by a doctor to be sure. Mosquitoes, fleas, and vampire bats are not known to transmit the HIV virus, I think biting by a human is not likely to spread HIV either. Other germs or diseases could be spread by a biting person.
