herpes
hi my new girlfriend has informed me she has had herpes for the past 15 years ,we have not had sex yet but i am very concerned about intercoarse and oral sex .What is the chances of getting it if i wear a condom
from my understanding you should only have intercourse when no infection is present
The most important aspect is to know whether or not she takes medication to subside the flare-ups of having herpes. She should definitely be on some kind of medication for that disease. Second, if she is having a flare-up, you should not have any form of intercourse, but in case you do, you should know that it does not protect you 100%. Check out this website for more information:

My husband contracted herpes from a moment of cheating and we've had sex since (not when he has an outbreak), and I have been totally fine. The problem occurs during an outbreak. good luck!

As I remember in sex Ed if u wear a condom and she doesn't have an outbreak then there's usually no chance in getting it.. I believe u can only get it if she does have an outbreak at the time of intercouse.. So no sex during outbreaks. She should b on medication to keep her from
getting out breaks. I'm sure she knows all about this information.. Asked her the details and maybe to even ease ur mind u can both go to a clinic and talk about ur sex options. Good luck
