I don't know I'm not that experienced to give an educated answer because I was a man for 13yrs and only used condoms when I felt irritated and he is fine. However,  with my current partner it's been a constant roller coaster. We had unprotected sex once he was tested and was negative. We've used protection every since but our last situation we had 2 condoms to  burst and he's experienced discomfort bit I think it's more paranoia based on feedback from the group.

I'm considering breaking off the relationship because he's stressing me out every couple of months after we have sex questioning if he's contracted it.

No you can not. It stays in the genital area.

We did have 2 condoms that burst during anal sex but we switch them immediately...your thoughts on that?

If these bumps are within the area protected by the condom (I assume they have always been used?) then they are most probably not herpes. An initial infection will include lesions where the virus enters the body.

Thank you.

My partner is very concerned because he had 3 bumps to appear after our last encounter and some discomfort along with the head of his penis being sore. Should we be concerned?

Yes.

The virus may be present in an area that rubs a male's genital area outside of the area protected by the condom. This is a rare way of infected a male, especially when the female is using antivirals. Infection would happen about 1 in 10,000 sexual episodes in these circumstances.
