I read in a newspaper article that AIDS is suspected of being
transmitted via the blood. In that same article a "Center for Disease
Control" researcher was then asked if AIDS could be transmitted through
mosquitoes. The researcher did not know.

If the disease can be transmitted through mosquitoes, as can some
other diseases which pass their infections thru blood, then isn't
the whole general population threatened by the outbreak?

Does anyone know?
