Also in addition to the questions above…
Are herpes lesions fairly identifiable and do they always or most always break open before healing ?
Are condoms around 90% protective against HSV2 for any onetime sex act (even for men)?
How much of a risk is it that one would contract HSV2 from single act of protected anal sex with properly fitting condom and no lesions given the shedding locations for men?
Have you seen many cases of people contracting HSV from 1 time condom protected intercourse? Particularly women or the receptive partner?
Since my last negative blot test if my sexual practices Have been safe including visual inspection for lesions before engaging in sex,properly fitting condoms rolled to penis base before any intercourse and with no symptoms is it fair to continue to assume negative HSV2 status?
Thanks!!
