rimming, herpes, and hiv

I rimmed someone a week ago and now have tiny red bumps on the tip of my tongue that hurt. If I contracted herpes from this person, could I also have contracted HIV? I have read that herpes can increase the risk of transmission of HIV. This person has stated he's clean but obviously not now that I have numerous tiny red bumps across the tip of my tongue, so I can't really believe he's telling the truth about his HIV status.
