If that was true then it could be quite happily stated that mossies can not carry the hiv virus as if it is too big to go in the hole the mossie has created then it would be too big to get into the mossie in the first place when it was sucking the blood, aint seen it stated as hard fact that mossies cannot sup down the hiv virus whilst drinking blood.
More to the point they claim it does get into the mossie and the digestive juices kill the virus.. Sounds like a plan for a vaccine or cure if ever I heard one?? Especially since we already have a certain resistance to mossie's without the illnesses they carry it seems they do us no real harm...
