By exchanging bodily fluids and letting them into your bloodstream. This includes unprotected sex, cleaning or coming in contact with blood without gloves, etc.

Saliva, unless consumed in great amounts, is not generally a risk.

HIV is the virus that causes AIDS.

HIV/AIDS can be acquired either through, having sex with someone who has HIV using a needle that someone who has HIV used, or from a parent via birth. YOU CAN'T GET AIDS FROM A MOSQUITO! The HIV/AIDS virus can't live outside of the human body.
