Brief Answer:
Hi and welcome to HCM

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for the query.
The risk is only theoretical and you should not be concerned about it. there is no reported case of such transmission since HIV cant live outside the body. Considering this there is no need to do hiv testing. however,some STDs may be transmissed on this way so you should try to check her std status and do std testing if some of the symptoms occur. WIsh you good health. Regards
