HIV or hltv exposure
If a mosquito bites a person living with HIV and within 5 seconds another person accidentally eats that mosquito — and that person has bleeding sores or an open wound in the mouth — is there any risk of HIV transmission?
Details:
Mosquito had just bitten an HIV-positive person.
Or maybe dip whole mosquito in hiv blood
Immediately (within3- 5 seconds), another person ate the mosquito.
The second person has bleeding gums / mouth sores.
Concern:
Can HIV enter through the mouth wound in this situation? Or is the risk zero?

I want you to be positive, but HIV can spread through contact with infected blood. It's a good idea to get tested for HIV. It's better to be safe than to wait for a cure.
Next Steps
Please visit the nearby lab to get tested for HIV.
