If she is taking antiviral therapy daily (500 mg once a day of valtrex or 400 mg twice a day of acyclovir), and you don't use condoms, and you have sex about twice a week, the risk of you acquiring HSV 2 from her is about 2% in a year. That is, if there were 100 men in your same situation having sex with HSV 2 positive women, about 2 would become infected in a year. Condoms will reduce that even further.
Good for you for not letting her HSV 2 deter you. Have you actually been tested yourself ever to determine that you are not infected and just don't know it? 80% of those infected with HSV 2 don't know it, so it might be worth getting tested, just to be sure. If you turn out to be infected as well, there is no issue here.

No, the risk of transmission from an infected male to an uninfected female is about double the risk.

Would the same hold true tor an HSV+ male with a negative female? Assuming the male was on antivirals?
