Absolutely NO RISK. You cannot get HIV from a mosquito, no matter what happened. There is no way you could get HIV in the manner you described.
In adults, HIV is transmitted by:
1) having unprotected, penetrative vaginal or anal sex, or
2) sharing IV drug needles with other IV drug users.
That is it. Anything else you can think of is not a risk.
