Oral herpes?: No kissing! Genital herpes? NO sex. Get examined and cultured. You will need anti-viral medication.

No: If you mean what you say don't kiss her now! And it is known for some time that you can transmit HSV for a few days beforehand. Also even if you tell her you won't kiss her, who knows what will happen in the heat of passion. Safest not to.
