And what if the mosquito was in the
bloody surgical sink and and immadiately flew into eyes?
NO.  You will NEVER get HIV through your eye, ever.  Risks are unprotected intercourse, and sharing intravenous needles.  If you don't do either of those activities, you will never have a risk for HIV.  Time to stop thinking up outrageous scenarios that will never happen.
Thank you for your response
But what about those medical personnels catching HIV through blood splash to eyes?
That is a theoretical risk.  In the 40 years of HIV history, only a very small number of medical personnel have been infected through occupational exposure, and not via a blood splash to the eye.  There is NOTHING you can say to make blood from a mosquito into your eye, or blood splash, that will make it a risk for HIV.  NOTHING.
I didn't get my answer in my thread. Why they closed the thread without let me asking my question? My story was different.
Hi there - your story wasn't different and wasn't a risk at all, either.  It was still about blood in the eye.  Your question about HIV risk through the eyes has been fully answered, and there is no need to ask additional questions about your no-risk event.
