the IgG test for HSV 1 misses 30% of infections compared to the gold standard herpes western blot. If he was the giver of oral sex to you and has oral herpes, then there is some risk from this encounter. I wouldn’t say high risk but some risk. A western blot would give you a final answer but should not be done sooner than 12 weeks from the encounter.
