If a mosquito bites someone with stds and bites someone could they catch them?
STDs, including HIV, have never been shown to spread via mosquitoes. Studies have shown that these, including HIV, do not survive in mosquitoes. However, disease like Dengue, Yellow Fever, and malaria, are spread through mosquito saliva.

About Mosquito
Mosquitos have been an irritant for the human species since the beginning of time. They bite, they cause itchy bumps, they keep us awake at night with their buzzing, and they are the carriers of disease like yellow fever, dengue fever, and malaria.
About HIV
HIV stands for Human Immunodeficiency virus. It is a lentivirus (a member of the retrovirus family) that causes acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), a condition in humans in which the immune system begins to fail, leading to life-threatening opportunistic infections.
About Yellow Fever
Yellow fever is a virus transmitted via mosquito to primates. It can cause fever, nausea and pain. It usually goes away after a couple days, but can be followed up with a ''toxic phase'' causing liver damage with jaundice, which gives the disease is name. Jaundice causes patients to have a yellowish skin tone and gives the eyes a yellowish tint. Yellow fever can also cause an increased risk of bleeding, which puts the disease in a category of hemorrhagic fevers.
