Can I get herpes from my girlfriend who has genital herpes when I give her oral?

My girlfriend recently learned that her ex gave her genital herpes. Can I get herpes from her by giving her oral when she's not experiencing an outbreak? And can I get genital herpes from her by having unprotected sex during a time when she's not having an outbreak?
