Question:
Can I still get herpes if I use a condom?
Answer:
The short answer to this question is yes. Absolutely. Condoms will not protect you from either form of herpes, type 1 (oral) or type 2 (genital). Herpes is transmitted via skin to skin contact through the mucous membranes (usually the mouth or genitals).
So if you have oral sex with someone who has genital herpes, or if you have oral herpes and perform oral sex on someone who does not have the virus – you can transmit it to them.
The internet often gives the worst case example of what herpes outbreaks look likes. But for many many people affected with the herpes virus, their outbreaks can be small and virtually unnoticeable. This does not mean that the virus can’t be passed along. If a woman has intercourse with a man who has a small outbreak on his inner thigh for example, and it brushes against her vaginal area – it is possible for him to pass it on to her. The same can happen in reverse.
