Brief Answer:
Not needed

Detailed Answer:
Thanks again for writing back. I do not think that you need another test. I say this as it was an oral sex and transfer of contaminated body fluids in essential for transmission. In other words chances of transmission are less. However, if you want to clear any sort of anxiety, feel free to go ahead with the testing.
