Some people say you can get HIV from insect bites. True or false? Why?

The answer is False because HIV spreads through contact between HIV-infected blood or blood-contaminated body fluids and broken skin, wounds, or mucous membranes. Deep, open-mouth kissing if both partners have sores or bleeding gums and blood from the HIV-positive partner enters the HIV-negative partner's bloodstream.
