Well, no one is forcing you to have sex with this guy. It sounds like you are making the big leap from friends to sex partners without taking the time to get to know each other.
You can make sure that you are protected against HIV by taking the proper precautions. If you always have safe sex, it does not matter what your partner's HIV status is, does it?
Please value yourself enough to commit to always having safe sex. Always. Always. Always.

As for whether or not you want to call him, that's ultimately your decision. As for HIV, do try to get educated. Always assume your partner probably has it; always use a condom. As for asking him to get tested: you absolutely CAN ask that of him. Go together, get tested yourself even. You'll both feel a little bit better. That said, there IS a 6 month (in extreme cases more, but generally 6 is considered pretty safe) window period where HIV is transmittable, but will not show up in a test. So, I'd still ALWAYS use a condom.
