After being intimate with my girlfriend for the first time, she told me that she had genital herpes. i was wearing protection. should i be concerned?

Herpes: Unfortunately condoms protection against herpes is not great and is about 60-70%. Try to avoid sex during outbreaks. If she has frequent outbreaks she is eligible to be on maintenance treatment of antiviral treatment.
