About the blood come from mosquito

Once I beat  a mosquito which was sucking my blood on my face, and much blood spilled over my face and hands.
The blood is not mine, if it come from a hiv carrier, does it have the possibility to transmit hiv.

Thanks a lot, i am worry about it.

No it doesn't.  Insects cannot transmit the virus.  The virus does not stay active in a mosquito.

This is not a risk.  You need to let it go.

If the mosquito just finished a sucking from another people, it means the blood came from another one almost directly.

Not infectious because a mosquito is no a suitable host for the HIV virus.
