Tinder date disclosed gential HSV-1

Just wondering...

My ex had oral cold sores for 10 years and I never had an outbreak

New girl had first and only genital HSV-1 outbreak 4 years ago and not since, and is taking antivirals (daily i think?)

She has gone through a lot of physical trauma that left her unable to become pregnant, so we were considering unprotected sex (but we havent been intimate yet)

Curious if this is a non-issue, or if there's still a risk I could catch it and have an outbreak - happy to answer other Qs. Open to any and all suggestions/advice. Thank you!
