That, of course, flies in the face of the heated 'assurances' by US health 'authorities' that it is impossible for mosquitoes to transmit the AIDS virus.

Many viral mosquito vectors can only be transmitted by a specific species of mosquito. This is almost certainly true in this case (if it turns out to be true at all). As far as I know, it is true that American mosquito varieties cannot transmit HIV. A question apparently remains about some foreign varietals.
