Even in theory, it would be very unlikely that HIV could be spread in such a fashion. With malaria and other insect-borne infections, the organisms survive and actually multiply in the insect. HIV, in contrast, does not survive outside the body for very long, and it does not replicate in insects. In addition, mosquitoes transmit malaria and other infections when they inject saliva into the victim. HIV does not get into the insect's saliva much at all, and mosquitoes do not inject blood into the victim. Furthermore, blood that remains on the bug's mouth or other body parts after it bites an AIDS victim also does not pose much risk, because the amount of blood present is very small, and the insect usually does not go directly from one feeding to another.
Once its temperature drops much below that of the human body, the AIDS virus dies. Mosquitoes have a much lower body temp than humans.

Because mosquitoes cannot act as a natural reservoir for the AIDS virus.
because, the mosquitoes only take youre blood for food, and they inject saliva, but not somebody elses blood
