No risk, no worry: First, genital herpes usually is only genital -- i.e. the virus probably isn't present in or near the infected person's mouth. Second, HIV is never transmitted by saliva and almost never by oral exposure. And even if both viruses were present, there would be no measurable risk from such an event. You don't need testing and needn't worry at all. If no sex with this person, there is no risk at all.
