Please don't worry there is no risk for HIV.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you writing in healthcaremagic.

Based on your history, undetectable HIV in his blood and just swallow a drop of his blood since that you don't have any cut or open sores in your mouth I think that there is no risk to get HIV infection.
You should know that needs to get a high viral load and blood contact with the open sores or cut in your mouth to get the risk of HIV transmission.

I hope my answer helps you.
Regards.
