What is the possibility of me contracting genital herpes after having unprotected sex with a woman genital herpes?

Hard to say: Asymptomatic persons can still shed virus (=potentially share it with you). Hsv2 can be transmitted by close skin contact as well. See: http://stdtesting.Com/how-many-people-have-herpes --for more information and helpful links.
