I am a high school student . Yesterday while i was watching TV, i feel like a mosquito flying into my eye. Now i am in great anxiety due to the fear of HIV, what if the mosquito contains blood with virus?

Oh yeah, agree. Not a risk in any way.  It is a sexually transmitted disease that you get in only specific ways. That is unprotected vaginal or anal sex and if you share IV drug needles.  Mosquitos do not transmit HIV.

thank you for the answer! but you see i am Chinese student who understands these basic biological knowledge and i thought these explanations only refer to the sting of mosquitos.i am not sure whether this condition can be excluded from risk
So, UNLESS you had unprotected vaginal or anal sex or shared IV drug needles, you can't get HIV.  That's it.  Mosquitos don't transmit HIV whether they fly into your eye or sting you.  Nothing to add to that and please read through the link psyntax shared with you to educate yourself.
