Scientists say no! They say that the mosquito has some kind of physical safeguard that prevents them from backwashing.
I have my doubts too, but there have been no documented cases of a mosquito infecting anything with aids...just malaria.

No the virus is not spread that way it cannot live inside of the mosquito but you can get west nile, malaria, rocky mountain spotted fever.......

No its not possible. HIV can only be spread through 3 ways:
Sexual transmission.
Mother to child transmission.
Infected blood or other bodily fluids coming into contact with mucosal membranes, broken skin or into the blood stream directly.
HIV can only survive in human reservoirs because it targets specific cells in the human. (i.e CD4+ Tcells)
Hope this helps

you cant get it through a moscito (unless you mate with it... but thats another problem) but its really hard for you to get it through your blood stream, or not at all...
