Hi
Thank you for query. I am Dr Bharatesh D Basti answering your query.
Welcome to health care magic.

HIV transmission is rare by oral sex unless there are ulcers or open wound in either of them.
It is considered as Low risk case.
As the person is HIV positive , it may be better to consult your doctor for discussion on Post exposure prophylaxis(PEP) soon.It is best if taken within 3 days of exposure.

You can get back for any clarification.
Thank you
