You're overthinking things just a bit. Exam (medical) gloves are not sterile and don't need to be sanitized. Sterile gloves are used in a sterile surgical field, and the areas you are exploring are not sterile.

No need to sanitize gloves, however the risk of infection remains if after anal manipulation you perform vulvar/ clitoral palpation/manipulation as anal flora will be transferred to vulvar area.
