HIV through a bite?

i was talking to my friend who is HIV positive, and we were talkin on his stoop....we were about 2 feet away from each other just talking and then i realized when i got home i had about 10 mosquito bites. i got them from sitting at the stoop cause there were alot of them around. is it possible for the mosquito to bite him...and then bite me after and transfer the HIV virus to me?
