HIV through mosquitoes

Hello people,
                   Am a guy from tropical region where mosquitoes are very high & few incidents/encounters made me to come to this forum hoping that i can get a clear cut information as these incidents makes me to worry a lot & it affects my day to day activities as well.Am just lisiting out few incidents,

1. I squeezed a mosquito between my big finger & the finger next to it in my foot & the blood smeared on my fingers & while washing only i saw i got foot cracks between by fingers & is it a exposure if that blood from mosquito came in contact with my foot crack if in case that mosquito was carrying blood just sucked from a HIV person?

2. While taking bathing i accidentally squashed a mosquito & it fell in to the bucket & out of sense i washed the hands as blood was there in that hand after squashing the mosquito & that that blood containing water also fell in to the same bucket & i took that mosquito out & continued to take bath in the same water & is it a risk/exposure of HIV if that blood in mosquito comes in contact with my penis as i was taking bath?

3 After peeing i was cleaning my anus with my middle finger & a mosquito came & hit that finger at that time & i continued to clean my anus with that same finger itself by inserting the finger in to the anus & is it a risky exposure  
of contracting HIV?

But the whole scenario is not about mosquito bites right its about the blood in mosquito coming in contact directly with human blood or with any other sexual organs by different means right?

That's right,you could be bitten a million times and never have to worry,insects don't transmit HIV.You can relax now.Yes,use the bucket whenever you want.

Mosquitos don't carry the HIV virus,that's the basis on which I confirmed your risk assessment.I read everything,bottom line here is that Mosquitos don't spread HIV.
