Message-ID: <895@uwvax.UUCP> Date: Wed, 1-Jun-83 20:10:15 EDT Article-I.D.: uwvax.895 Posted: Wed Jun 1 20:10:15 1983 Date-Received: Wed, 8-Jun-83 23:57:47 EDT Lines: 10 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?
