Do nothing: Average transmission from vaginal sex if partner has HSV2 is aroundr 1 in a thousand, Your risk far lower than that:: 1) her infection seems in good control, 2) used condom for vaginal, 3) oral no risk, 4) you haven't had symptoms. For every woman who knows she has HSV2 and tells you, many other partners also have it. Virtually no risk from this: don't be tested, no need to tell future partners.
