Thank you, Terri. A couple follow up questions:

1) Even though condoms offer more per-act protection to women than men, assuming 100% condom use, isn’t it still less likely that a male would contract from an infected female than vice versa?

2) Do you have any reliable data on the odds of having hsv-2 by sexual partners? I’ve found a few studies online, but I’m not sure how accurate they are.

Thank you!
