your hsv1 genital infection only sheds less than a dozen days a year on average. odds are he isn't going to contract it.

barrier protection for oral sex would probably be the better option to be honest. buy flavored condoms , cut them open and lay them over your genital area if passing on your hsv1 genital infection through oral sex is a concern for the 2 of you.

has he ever been tested to know his own status?

He can contract your hsv1 infection orally though the risk from oral sex is very low.
