Herpes risk

What is the female to male herpes risk for 1 time protected vaginal sex? Condom all the way to base of penis, intact whole time, soft sex not rough, not long in duration.

Hi, I'm guessing from your response that close to zero basically means zero, but that you can't say zero because there's a theoretical chance. Is that right? Respectfully, I can't do the math myself. That's why I came here!

Close to zero so you do the math

Many thanks for the reply. No, there were no genital sores on her (that I could obviously see anyway). I'd shaved the base of my penis about a week prior, so hair was growing in there. Not sure if that's relevant. Do you mean close to zero like 1 out of 100, or more like 1 out of 10,000, 1 out of a million etc.?

Hi, with no genital sores at the time, the risk would be close to zero.
