Hi,

Noted your history and understood the concerns.
going through.
But since the HIV tests are negative you should be assured that your present problems are not due to HIV infection.
Small pimples around the belly button that disappear in the morning seems to be due to local skin reaction, may be your synthetic clothes or retained soap .
Clean the area well with plain water and change over the cotton inner-wear so that the problem may vanish.
Harmless pimples at the back of tongue can be due to enlarged or normal lingual tonsils and if there are no symptoms, be assured again and you may not really need any treatment for this.
Stop worrying unnecessarily.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. T Chandrakant,
ENT & General Surgeon
