EXTREMELY unlikely.
Mosquitoes DO carry many diseases, like Malaria and Yellow Fever, but fortunately they are NOT part of the HIV infection cycle.
1. HIV must get into a mosquito,
2. HIV must survive in that mosquito, and
3. HIV must get transferred to you from that mosquito.

The simple answer is... NO.
Why?
1. How would HIV get into a mosquito?
- First of all, the mosquito would have to bite a person infected with HIV.
- This person would also have to be in a stage of infection when HIV particles are in the blood. The amount of infectious HIV particles found in the blood changes over the course of an infection.
- The blood taken by the mosquito would have to have HIV particles in it.
2. How does HIV survive in a mosquito?
- Since the mosquito is NOT part of the HIV "life cycle", the transfer of the virus would be entirely up to chance events.
- These HIV particles would have to somehow get into the saliva of the mosquito, and then be transferred to a new person.
3. How would HIV get from a mosquito to you?
- During a bite, the mosquito injects saliva into your blood. This keeps your blood liquid, and easy for the mosquito to take.
- The mosquito drinks, and leaves. Any mosquito saliva left is all that could contain a possible HIV particle.
- It looks like a mosquito does not transfer much from "meal to meal". So, the odds are very minimal of getting AIDS from a mosquito.
So, you really don't have to worry about getting AIDS from a mosquito bite.
