What could be the cause of this bleeding, and should I be concerned about pregnancy?

I had a new sex partner who is newly infected with HSV-2. She had given me oral sex and was wondering about the likelihood of me being infected. Here are the details: She has a current outbreak on her genital area. I was in no way in contact with her sores. Not by touching, or intercourse or any other means and she was clothed. She did not touch herself either before touching me. She is also on Valtrex. She has no sores or signs of infection on the mouth area. What is the likelihood of me still being infected?
