In your situation, one step you could take is to get blood tests to see if you already have antibodies against type2 herpes - since if you already carry the virus, you wouldn't have to worry about transmission
To clarify - meaning that if you already have evidence of type 2 herpes previous infection, you don't really have to worry about her transmitting it to you. You DO have to worry about the risk of you transmitting it to a herpes-negative partner in the future.
