Yes, most likely. There is still a very, very small chance you could get it, but not enough to spend any time worrying about it.

Assuming she has genital herpes type 2 (and it's possible for people to get  genital hsv1, which is usually found on the mouth, from oral sex), if you were in a relationship with her, and had sex 2-3x a week, the chances of you getting it from her using a condom would be about 2-3% over the course of a year.

From a one time encounter, using a condom, if she didn't have an outbreak, it's probably a 1 in 10,000 chance.

I wouldn't worry at all. You are safer with someone who knows they have herpes and know when they have an outbreak and when to avoid sex than someone who has it and doesn't know it.

Yes. Let's keep everything on your other thread so we don't get confused, but yes, you're fine. :)
