Hsv 1 and hsv 2 are in the sane family, share 50% if the sane DNA,, but they are two different strains.
So no, she cannot get hsv 2 from him, unless he has hsv 2.

The only study done, is w those that have genital hsv 2, so that is what the below statistics are that I'm going to give you.
Female to male transmission of hsv 2 from genital to genital contact, abstaining from sex during symptoms and having sex on average about 2-3xs a week for a year are as follows:
- no condom or daily suppressive therapy: 4%
- condom or meds: 2%
- condom and meds: 1%
Because genital hsv 1 sheds about half or more less than genital hsv 2 and is harder to transmit genital to genital, then you can cut those numbers for each one in half for your risk of transmitting to him.
