The odds of that are slim to none and far closer to none. In fact i would be very confident in saying not a chance this lead to hsv.
Hsv is not concentrated in fluids. Saliva is extremely inefficient at spreading hsv. In fact it helps break it down and destroy it. His swallowing said saliva will not lead to transmission of the virus either. It needs to be massaged into a mucous membrane or skin.
Your brother contracted it somewhere else
