Extremely unlikely. HIV is a bloodborne virus and so it is transmitted by blood to blood contact. If the woman has open sores in her mouth and you have an open and bleeding wound on your penis then it is possible to transmit HIV. But if the skin on your penis is intact and she is not bleeding from her mouth then it is extremely unlikely that you could catch HIV by receiving fellatio from a woman who was HIV positive.
Why is it that a woman has a lower risk of transmitting HIV to a man than a man does to a woman?
When the man introduces fluids to the woman there are mucus membranes in the vagina which makes it easy to pick up all kinds of infections. A man's penis has an outerskin, no open membranes, making it harder for the infections to get through.
