I have had herpes for awhile now and I take care of it with meds. I have been very sexually active and I have ALWAYS used condoms when I have sex with sex workers for both vaginal and anal sex. If I use condoms is my risk still increased? Should I get tested even though I always used condoms because of my herpes? I'm very concerned now.
Herpes only increases the risk when you have had a risk to begin with. It cannot amplify a zero risk scenario, and having protected intercourse is zero risk. Even if it amplified the risk x10, zero risk x10 still = zero risk.
