Most probably you already have HSV1, but don't know it. 80% of the population will have the virus at some point of their lives.
If you do have HSV1, the likelihood of contracting it genitally is very very low.
you and your partner can't make educated decisions about what precautions to take in your relationship until you know who has what. You'll need to be tested for herpes to know your full status. If your gf has never been tested for hsv2, she needs to cover that base too.
