The "snout" of a mosquito, the part that looks like a needle, is actually composed of six mouthparts. Four of these are used to pierce the skin of the person or animal that the mosquito is biting. The other two parts are composed of two tubes. One of the tubes sends saliva into the host and the other sends blood up to the mosquito. This two tube system is one reason why mosquitoes are unable to transmit HIV. Only saliva is injected into humans when a mosquito bites and thus HIV positive blood that a mosquito may have previously ingested is never transmitted to other humans. read less
