Brief Answer:
Your HIV risk remains negligible only.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Thanks for posting your query.
Some body fluids like tears, urine sweat, motion including human saliva are not infectious and HIV and STD are not transmitted through human bite. Saliva contains an enzyme called Lysozyme which is inimical to HIV. Hand job also one of the safest sex activity. Unless the saliva contains blood and the individual is an HIV positive, you need not worry about this incident.

Since I am unaware of his HIV / STD status also I don't know about whether he has some oral issue through which blood can.mix with saliva. Also, at the end of the session because of body running I ejaculated in my cloths .. am little worried. Do I need any kind of testing for this event?

Brief Answer:
Negative reports of Tests for HIV /STD will relieve mental tension

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome back.
You need not worry about the odd possibilities.
I had not come across a single case of HIV /STD transmitted through human bite. I feel that you do not need any test for HIV/STD. In spite of my assurance, if you have not satisfied, then you can take up tests for HIV /STD after the window period.
Non-reactive test report will relieve unnecessary mental tension.
