Its not HIV
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to Ask A Doctor service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Dry tongue is not a known effect of HIV. It is most probably a side effect of Marijuana.
Dry mouth and thirst have been usually observed in doses higher than 10 mg/kg/day of Cannabidiol.
Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Brief Answer:
You can try chewing gum etc
Detailed Answer:
Hello again
Yes taking it frequently and in high doses may have caused this.
You can try home remedies like chewing gum, etc and see if it helps.
Otherwise you can lower the dose and check. The dose can be lowered by either halving the dose or reducing the frequency of intake. Will need to keep halving the dose every week.
You may need to withdraw it completely if the above remedies are not helpful.
