Hello
Read this carefully so that you will get the reply of your question.

Although HIV can be isolated typically in low titers from saliva of a small proportion of infected individuals , there is no convincing evidence thta saliva can transmit HIV infection.
Saliva contains endogenous antiviral factors ;among these factors , HIV-specific immunoglobulins of IgA, IgG and IgM isotype are detected in salivary secretions of infected individuals .
In your case fingering was there in anus and later on applying on tongue for lubrication i.e. If the girl was HIV infected , still there was not any chance of getting HIV infection by you due to tongue lubrication.
Stomach ulcer may be due to Hyperacidity so take pantaprazole as required.
But as far as concern about HIV need not to worry , you are HIV free.
Hope this will help you.
