HSV-1 genital to genital transmission

Hello - I am a male and was exposed to genital HSV-1 during gential (genital)-to-genital (male/female) sex about 4 weeks ago. Unfortunately this was not with my regular partner. The woman I was with has had HSV-1 for about 25 years, and says she has never had a recurrence. She was not having an outbreak during our encounter. We used a condom. I have checked myself closely since and have not experienced any symptoms.

My regular partner (female) has oral HSV-1 (I think) since she gets cold sores about 2-4 times a year, and has for several years. I have been with her for 8 years and received oral sex from her occasionally, as well as regular vaginal sex and regular kissing, and I have never had symptoms of oral or genital herpes.

My question is, do I need to be concerned about transmitting HSV-1 to my regular partner genitally, given the circumstances of my exposure, and the fact that she almost certainly already has HSV-1? Thank you.
