Exceedingly unlikely, but if you know for sure the semen was from someone with known infection there might be a slight chance and might want to be tested. Better safe than sorry. (Since it seems you're probably a man who has sex with other men, you need periodic STD testing anyway. Maybe this is a good time, while it's on your mind -- even though the risk is nearly zero.)
