It would be unnecessary to get an HIV test for many reasons:
- low/no risk of transmission (condom, no ejaculation) from this one episode
- HIV has a "window period" before even showing up as positive on an HIV test. that window period is 3 months.
If you are concerned about your partner's risk of being exposed to HIV, and therefore transmitting it to you, there is an even higher risk of being exposed to other STDs or STIs. You can read more at: http://www.hivtest.org/faq.cfm.
