Put more simply, if everyone in an average campground was bitten and infected by mosquitoes carrying HIV-positive blood, the infection patterns in our country would be much different. People much younger and much older than our currently identified HIV-positive population would be positive for the virus. For example, those ages 3 to 11 are frequently bitten by mosquitoes, but are not a significant proportion of the HIV-positive population. The answer is false. Luckily, HIV is not spread through insect bites.
Mosquitoes bite people indiscriminately.
