Blood in needle...

I had a Hiv test and the results were suspicious, then I had to take another blood test and wait for the results for a week. Fortunately, the result is no disease. However, I was always obsessed with the hospital using an old needle so I had to have a second blood draw. And I did something crazy. I caught mosquitoes, then beat them on my skin and then used needles, tried sucking blood into the cylinder ... for some reason I was curious and tried to prick my skin again. I poked the needle horizontally, and at the same time I tried the suction and pumping operation (like a nurse in a hospital).
Now I was scared again because I suddenly remembered that my mosquitoes' blood was not. please help me. Suppose that someone's blood was infected with Hiv then the mosquitoes sucked more of my blood and I took the blood they smeared on the needle and stabbed me. I found that the blood outside the needle was dry, but I was worried that the blood inside the needle core was not dry (because there was some water in the needle, I played with the needle before sucking the blood of the mosquito). whether the amount of blood in the needle when I perform a push-pull pump into my skin, is enough to make me infected. I know no one will think of things like me. I'm really scared and obsessed.

It mean... I won’ Have HIV....
You have been advised that you had zero risk for HIV, and that your concerns are not rational.  We wish you the best in finding a counselor who can help you with these anxious thoughts.

This is an psychological issue and not an HIV issue. Please for your health and sanity, seek help from a qualified mental health expert to help you overcome this excessive health anxiety because your behavior is very abnormal and not at all a reflection of an individual with a healthy mind.

Thank you so much!!! I wonder if I am infected with HIV through the blood of mosquitoes that are on the needles and needles. I find myself really stupid and problematic.
Since you find yourself with such irrational concerns, it's time to seek counseling. Please stop searching for HIV and instead spend your time searching for a therapist who can help you overcome these irrational thoughts. There's nothing we can do for you on this forum to help you.
I just hope to answer for the action I have taken to be at risk of HIV? I will feel relieved and not looking for or paranoid about the risks any more. Please....!!!!
