Contracting herpes from recieving oral sex?

I am a female infected with herpes type 2, and I performed oral sex on my male significant other, does anyone know the chance that he may contract herpes type 2 from that encounter? I'm really worried and I have been researching everywhere and websites only ever talk about getting herpes type 1 on a persons genitals from oral sex, but they never cover getting or giving herpes type 2 from oral sex. I do not have herpes type 1 or sores on my mouth. Can any one help me out?

if you only have genital herpes, you performing oral sex on your partner isn't a risk for them.
