HIV Positive friend, concern.

Question

I recently befriended a HIV positive man, and having anxiety issues I hide my fear from HIV from him because it's just not fair. I have a few questions.

Handshaking, hugging, sharing drinks is all ok as far as I know. 
However last time something scary happened. We were sitting outside and a mosquito kept flying around us and we both tried to intimidate it away, however he felt a mosquito bite and so did I shortly after. What happens if the mosquito bites him, gets interrupted and continues to feed itself on me (just sitting next ti him). I am freaking out a little since I don't find an answer to my question. Mosquitos do not usually transmit hiv but what happens in this scenario?

Should I test? Pep? I am a young adult and I am really anxious right now.

The thing that worries me is this; (research from Rutgers University)

"2. In the second mechanism, a mosquito would initiate the cycle by beginning to feed on an HIV carrier and be interrupted after it had successfully drawn blood. Instead of resuming the partial blood meal on its original host, the mosquito would select an AIDS-free person to complete the meal. As it penetrated the skin of the new host, the mosquito would transfer virus particles that were adhering to the mouthparts from the previous meal. This mechanism is not common in mosquito-borne infections, but equine infectious anemia is transmitted to horses by biting flies in this manner."

Even they say it doesn't happen but now I feel anxious. Sorry to bother I just want to feel at ease again.

Thank you, I did some research as well. It's not transmitted by mosquitos in general but my question is. When the mosquito bites my hiv+ friend, get s interrupted and bites me immediately after with the blood of my hiv+ friend on its mouth? I know mosquitos do not inject blood in human bodies, they just suck it out. But if blood present due to an interrupted feeding episode, small amounts of blood would have been present.
