Response from Dr. Reznik
It is very, very unlikely that HIV can be transmitted via receptive oral intercourse. This does not mean it is not possible, as most things imaginable are, but again it is highly unlikely.
If this is your only risk and you have been tested in the past, I am of the opinion that an HIV test is not necessary for the encounter mentioned in this question.
Take care and play safe!
DR
