Transmission: Hsv is transmitted through open active lesions. Unlikely for you to contract genital herpes from someone just by kissing them - unless they had lesions in their mouth or on lips.

Genital herpes: Is she had no lesions on her lips or mouth, it is unlikely you need to worry about contracting the disease.
