If a mosquito bites a person who is HIV-positive and then bites you right afterwards, is it possible for you to get HIV?

First off, mosquitos don't feed more than once. So it's highly unlikely. Also the chances of one biting you after biting someone with HIV? You'd probably get hit by lightening twice first. If they did bite someone with HIV and then flew off without filling up, and landed on you and sucked up your blood, the amount of cells passed aren't enough to infect you.

They claim not...and I'd say no too, otherwise we'd pretty much all be HIV +

No, it's not. You just can't, just like you can't get HIV from spit.
