It is a mucous membrane, but there are other factors that would need to be present to allopw for transmission.  This would NEVER be a risk.

HIV is unable to reproduce outside its living host (unlike many bacteria or fungi, which may do so under suitable conditions), except under laboratory conditions; therefore, it does not spread or maintain infectiousness outside its host.

No risk Saliva and stomach acids would render the virus inactive. HIV is transmitted by SEX and using sharing DRUG rigs,. I doubt your daughter is doing either.
