HIV is found in the body fluids of an infected person, which includes semen and vaginal fluids, blood, inside the anus and breast milk.
HIV cannot be transmitted by saliva alone. But the saliva of a person with HIV can be infectious if it contains blood or other body fluids.
So unless someone spit in the bag with blood and they were HIV positive, I'd say not. Although I'd suggest you don't take liquid speed again, whatever that is, as you clearly haven't done your research around it.
Like xturner says there would have to be blood / other (not saliva) body fluid in the bag. HIV would be hard to pickup this way, but Hepatitis B is 10 times as infective and you can get it form the saliva (very close contact) with other people.
If you snort coke / speed etc (especially if you share straws) there is a risk of picking up an infection like hepatitis B / C (from the nasal secretions of the person you share the straw with) and maybe even HIV, although it's unusual to get HIV infection in this way.
I'd recommend you head along to a sexual health clinic and get a full checkup but also get vaccinated against Hepatitis B as it's completely preventable with a vaccination.
