“I told him he better start trying to find out what it was within the mosquito that instantly killed the Aids virus because there was a Nobel prize waiting for him.”
HIV is a retrovirus that is incapable of surviving the transfer of the retrovirus to the insect. The West Nile Virus can and certainly does survive such transfers, but the HIV retrovirus cannot.
How does it survive the transfer to a syringe needle and then to someone else?
If a mosquito bites someone and less than a minute later it bites me how is that different than the syringe?
Is the mosquito magical in some way?
