[1] "Your immune system makes antibodies and releases chemicals to protect you. That causes the initial swelling."


For some random reason I was just googling what made the swelling when a mosquito bites you and apparently it's your immune system. Anyone knows what chemicals or wtv creates the swelling? I'm looking for a connection between mosquito bites and HIV since I assume it weakens your immune system it should also stop it from creating the swelling after you're bitten by a mosquito no?

HIV doesn't replicate in the mosquito's gut, so it would be very hard for HIV to be transmitted via mosquitoes. HIV targets your helper-T cells.

Maybe this might help?

You're talking about two different parts of the immune system. Swelling is not due to any cells but rather the chemical signals (cytokines, bradykinin and others) that make your blood vessels more permeable for your immune cells that are attracted through chemotaxis, the first ones are usually neutrophilic granulocytes which are part of your innate immune system. However since blood vessels are more permeable that also leads to a slighet edema. T-cells that are targeted by HIV are part of your adaptive immune system. I'm not sure it is that relevant anyway. I forgot what I was answering though, if you want to look into specifics follow the links above me.

OP here, just smoked some pot, I'm high as a kite. You sir are the best. You just told me everything I needed to know . And I can clearly tell you know this by heart. I'm sure you're really good at it.

You misunderstand, he wants to see if giving himself HIV will make him immune from annoying itchy mosquito bites.
Bit extreme but who are we to judge.
