This is a tough one...but given the nature of HSV-2, I think it's important that you take some time to talk about it with her when you've gotten to know each other better. Since it's not something that's curable, it's doubly important to let someone know about this BEFORE you do anything physical. It's tricky to figure out the right timing for something like this - too soon, and she's off running before you can say another word. Too late, and she'll likely punch you in the face.
My personal opinion is that you take some time to get to know each other before opening up about it - in the big picture, it's sort of weird to disclose one's medical conditions in general to people they don't know well, regardless of whether they're STDs or not. If you've built up an affection for one another first, then it may not have a disastrous effect on the progress of your relationship - she'll simply know that you both need to take proper precautions. And, honestly, if I were in her place, I'd appreciate you being honest with me BEFORE sleeping together - it indicates that you care for her well-being rather than simply being focused on your own gratification.
