Your risk would be from hsv1. Hsv2 is rarely an oral infection and even when it is the odds of spreading it are incredibly low. It has little to no outbreaks and sheds very little.
Your odds of contracting hsv1 from receptive oral sex is low. I do not recommend testing in the absence of obvious hsv symptoms like lesions
