hepatitisb & mosquito bite.

Hello Sir, Actually i m a HBV patient. I have a doubt about this disease transmission. Question is - A blood drinking mosquito biting me and flying, then it will bite an another person. That person strikes the mosquito so the blood is splashing his skin and his palm, then that person touches his pimples or rub his eyes with the blooded hand. Now what will cause in that person? He will affects with HBV?. Because the virus can survive and infect others upto 7 days in atmosphere. Pls clarify. Thx.
