Eczema Herpeticum question, help, urgent :(

I have been dating this girl for 4,5 months already and I love her, but... there is a huge problem. She has herpes, and I have seberrhoeic dermatitis. I was willing to risk my relationship even if I will get myself a herpes, but I thought that that would be worst that could happen. But.. few days ago I found out about disease called Eczema Herpeticum, which is a potentially deadly inflammatory disease which is caused by herpes virus HPV1 and infects inflamed skin such as Eczema, Seborrhoeic dermatitis, etc. It will create watery pastules/warts/nodules, which if untreated, will spread to whole face and then rest of the body and may cause death...
I love her, and I cant imagine being without her... but I am afraid of this. How big risk is developing that disease? I heard it's rare. Also, what precautions should we make? We haven't been kissing when she had an active outbreak, however, we started kissing once her Herpes turned into a scab, which, she said, was harmless. What precautions should we make? Can she kiss me on places affected by seberrhoeic dermatitis, either if she has a scab or she doesnt have anything at all? Please,help. Thanks.

She has oral HSV1 herpes. Oh, so, is there a chance that I can be immune to herpes completely? If there is,that would be great.
How do I make such tests and where do I make them? Are they available here in Slovakia as well? I guess... a physician makes them?
She takes 500-1000 mg of Lyzine daily, in tablet form, to prevent her herpes from appearing. It did reduce the amount of outbreaks she gets, but she still gets them.
I for a change take 35 mg of Zinc L-carnosine, 2 000 mg of MSM and 5 mg of biotin daily. I also do oil pulling with Virgin Coconut Oil each morning for 20-30 minutes. Nothing has helped with my seberrhoeic dermatitis so far.

actually either hsv1 or hsv2 can cause herpes skin infections. it's not just hsv1.  

is your partner on daily suppressive therapy to lower your risk of contracting her herpes?  

have you been tested to know your own status to see if you even have to be concerned about transmission or not?
