HIV risk from protected vaginal sex being hsv2 positive

[Kylew99]

Would hiv transmission to a male be likely if a male with healed hsv-2 scars at the base of the penis not covered by condoms had protected vaginal intercourse using a male condom with a female. The base may or may not have entered the Vagina and with healed herpes sores being a way in for hiv would transmission be likely?

The only risks for HIV in adults are:
1) Having unprotected anal or vaginal sex, or
2) sharing intravenous needles.

HIV does not easily infect, and would never infect via any ordinary cuts or scrapes.  The only injury that would present concern is a situation in which wound(s) were so deep that they require immediate medical attention.

Thanks, But it’s been proven that even healed herpes scars are an easy way in for hiv. What can you say about that

[CurfewX]

Either you read that from an unreliable source, or you misinterpreted it.  Herpes only increases the risk for HIV when you have a risk to begin with - e.g., if you have a herpes sore on your penis head and you have unprotected intercourse.
