How likely will my girlfriend contract HSV-1 genitally?

It is quite unlikely as the HSV-1 virus prefers latency In the trigeminal ganglion behind the ears, causing outbreaks on the face and mainly around the mouth. Therefor it is slightly less common for HSV-1 to affect the genital area, but do not be fooled, as it can still infect the genital area.
