No.
The results of experiments and observations of insect biting behavior indicate that when an insect bites a person, it does not inject its own or a previously bitten person's or animal's blood into the next person bitten. Rather, it injects saliva, which acts as a lubricant so the insect can feed efficiently. Diseases such as yellow fever and malaria are transmitted through the saliva of specific species of mosquitoes. However, HIV lives for only a short time inside an insect and, unlike organisms that are transmitted via insect bites, HIV does not reproduce (and does not survive) in insects. Thus, even if the virus enters a mosquito or another insect, the insect does not become infected and cannot transmit HIV to the next human it bites.

As far as we can tell- no. The HIV/AIDS pathogens need to be present in rather large numbers to affect you, and the small amount in blood that the bug puts in you is just too small to do this.
Here is an article about this issue with LOTS of good facts in it: http://www-rci.rutgers.edu/~insects/aids.htm

The qualified answer is a firm NO. It does not spread through vector.
