Kissing someone who has vomited.

Hey everyone
I've got a gross scenario that I have searched high and low for on the internet so as to spare you all the disgust, but have not come across any answers.  I recently kissed someone who had, 30 minutes or so prior, vomited. Not sure if he brushed his teeth/used mouthwash afterwards (I sure hope so- he didn't smell, so I had no idea!)  I didn't realize it at the time (obviously...ew), but was told later (by him), that this happened due to consuming too much alcohol.  We didn't make out heavily, but did briefly and gently open mouth/french kiss.  I also later found out that he is a bit promiscuous and engages in sexual activity with both genders, which is where my concern lies.  Should I be concerned?  As uncommon as it is, I have a strict policy of never sleeping with anyone who hasn't been HIV tested since their most recent partner, and I always get tested as well.  I was just tested in May and have not been sexually active since then, besides this situation.  Do I need to get tested again?  I apologize if this sounds ridiculous.  
Thanks so much for taking the time. I appreciate it.
