Herpes risk, protected, one time
Hi
I had protected vaginal sex with a female, it was just a few minutes and not vigorous, I did not ejaculate. The condom was intact and other than a bit of touching with my fingers no other vaginal contact was made, no oral sex was given or received.
She told me afterwards she has HSV2, for past 5 years, that she hasn't had an out real for a long while and she isn't currently having one. She said when she does the lesions appear on her lower back and not on her genital area.
I know sex isn't risk free... But realistically what are the chances I have picked up herpes from this encounter? The paranoia is well and truly in action and I would like some factual answers, positive or negative... The net offers up a lot on conflicting information.

Still, even without that, your risk is still incredibly low.

Thanks for the response.
She didn't but judging by some other comments made I don't believe she would be taking them.

I think the risk is incredibly low. Did she tell you if she is taking antiviral therapy?
