So, based on your situation I think it is not necessary to do HIV test.

Brief Answer:
Please don't worry! There is no risk for HIV .

Detailed Answer:
Hello! I have been through your question.

Related your concern and based on your history I think that there is no risk to get HIV infection.
You should know that the risk of HIV transmission through oral sex is low, several factors may increase that risk, including sores in the mouth or on the penis.

As well you cannot get HIV from contact with things that can have infected blood because HIV cannot live outside the body just few seconds.
So, based on these above mentioned facts I think that is not necessary to do HIV test.

I hope my answer helps you.
