Yes, he can get oral herpes that way.
However, many people with genital herpes enjoy receiving oral sex without fear of transmitting to their partners. It's as simple as abstaining during outbreaks and using a latex barrier such a condom on a man, or a dental dam on a woman.
In general, many people with genital herpes (male and female) enjoy fulfilling sexual relationships because they are willnig and able to take precautions to avoid infecting their partners. This includes always using condoms and dams, abstaining during outbreaks and taking suppressive drug therapy if they are prone to frequent outbreaks.
About contracting herpes, though, most people already have a strain of oral herpes anyway. Many people pick up HSV-1 as children (via nonsexual contact). If they are already carrying HSV-1 orally, they're usually not going to superinfect with HSV-2 on the same site.
Nonetheless, it is ALWAYS important to practice safer sex with your partners. It shows that you care about their health as well as yours.
If you are unfamiliar with dental dams, they are sheer sheets of latex that can be used to cover the vulva during oral sex. You can improvise a dental dam by using a sheet of NON-microwavable cling film or by cutting open a flavored condom so that it opens as a flat sheet.

There are two types of herpes simplex virus: HSV-1 and HSV-2. Both virus types can cause sores around the mouth (herpes labialis) and on the genitals (genital herpes). Cold sores are caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV).
Cold sores sometimes called fever blisters, are groups of small blisters on the lip and around the mouth. The skin around the blisters is often red, swollen, and sore. The blisters may break open, leak a clear fluid, and then scab over after a few days. They usually heal in several days to 2 weeks.
The herpes simplex virus usually enters the body through a break in the skin around or inside the mouth. It is usually spread when a person touches a cold sore or touches infected fluid—such as from sharing eating utensils or razors, kissing an infected person, or touching that person's saliva. A parent who has a cold sore often spreads the infection to his or her child in this way. Cold sores can also be spread to other areas of the body.

Oral cold sores and genital herpes are very closely related. They are caused by viruses known as hsv-1 and hsv-2. Hsv-1 normally infects the mouth (60-95% of the population are infected with it depending on age) and hsv-2 normally infects the genitals, but up to 75% of new cases of genital herpes among young women are caused by hsv-1, often passed through oral sex. Basically, genital herpes is the same as cold sores. Like people with cold sores/fever blisters, people with genital herpes are not infectious all the time. They are mainly infectious when they have a sore. However, like people with oral cold sores, there will be some times when they are infectious with no symptoms. People with oral herpes (cold sores) are infectious about 18% of the time, people with genital hsv-2 slightly less of the time, and people with genital hsv-1 are only infectious about 3-4% of the time.
So basically the chances are that if he has neither virus orally or genitally and gives her oral sex, his chances of catching it on his mouth are low because the virus is not infectious for the majority of the time. If he did catch it, all he would have is a case of cold sores on his mouth, like the majority of the population. Cold sores and genital herpes being caused by the same virus have the same symptoms. Genital herpes passed to the mouth just becomes a case of cold sores and the chances of catching them from giving oral sex to someone with genital herpes are actually lower than the chances of catching them from kissing someone who has oral herpes.

I am absolutely terrified and I feel so alone. I just found out last week that I tested positive for hsv1 and 2. I have been with the same man for the past 10 years and within the last year found out that he has cheated on me with numerous women. I am so scared that I can give it to my children by kissing them and them eating with me...I feel like my whole life has changed. And even though the nurses, my doctor, and websites say that a lot of people have it I still feel like I am by myself. My self esteem has dropped and I feel like I have been used up. But now, My life is very happy.

yes she will transmit it and it will effect your whole mouth. Also if you scratch or rub the sores on your face and then touch your genital area, you may get it there to.
That is how HSV 1 turns into HSV 2 ( then you have both)

¡Ánimo! Para curar el herpes, lo primero que tienes que hacer es no tocártelo mucho, no vaya a ser que se te infecte y se te queden las marcas del herpes, o te hagas daño en la zona. Aunque moleste o aunque te entren ganas, déjatelo en paz.
Luego, si te quieres curar el herpes y hacerlo bien, lo mejor es que acudas a remedios naturales. El herpes ha existido desde mucho antes que la medicina y no son pocos los remedios para el herpes que existen.
Te dejo aquí un enlace de uno muy bueno, para que le eches un vistazo.
¡Un saludo!

Yes. Less likely if not during an outbreak but still a chance.

Herpes are so contagious, you should definitely not do oral sex. I think you could get it in your mouth... OUCH.
