Swallowed Blood While Licking

Hello everyone, I am quite anxious lately.
I have swallowed a guy's blood from a really small bleeding acne on his chest while I was licking his body. I have tasted his blood, I am sure it was bleeding.
Should I get tested for HIV just for this exposure?
Thank you!

Thanks for the reply, but it still feels kind of weird to hear that it's not spread through swallowing the blood. Are you sure?

I wouldnt be advising if I'm not sure, we are dealing with people's lives here. A little bit of blood will be deactivated by your saliva, unless you are a vampire and you gulped his blood down.

Cheers.

Nope. Your saliva would have made sure that the virus(if any) is deactivated. You had no risk and don't need to test.
