Question: Does a condom protect against Herpes!?
!?!?!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
A condom may help, but it will not prevent genital herpes!. I caught genital hepres while my partner was wearing a condom!.

You can get future partners tested, but that can get confusing, since a blood test will only tell you THAT someone has HSV1 or HSV2, not where they have it!. Since it is possible to get either strain (HSV1 or HSV2) in either place (orally or genitally), a blood test may not be a whole lot of help!. It's better than nothing, but it's not the whole story!.

Best thing to do is:
a) Wear a condom!. It helps and it prevents other stuff!.
b) Talk to you partner!. Ask them about their sexual history and share your own!. "Ever had an STD!?" "Me, too!" "Get tested every year!?" "Me, too!"
c) Get tested periodically - like when you go in for an annual check up!.

But you can only do so much!. Sex involves risk!. Risk of pregnancy, risk of disease!. Risk of a broken heart!. If you can do enough to make the risk acceptable to you, then go for it!. And know that everything in life involves some risk!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

A condom will be a little better than using nothing at all, but will still not be a 100% gaurantee that you won't get it - nothing can promise that except not having sex at all!. It is possible that you can get future partners tested, if they are willig to do it, you cant force them or do it without their knowledge!. If they are a responsible person with nothing to hide, they should not have a problem with the two of you going to get tested together, and allowing your test results to be given with both of you present!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

NO condoms are not all that great when it comes to herpes!. when u think about it condoms only cover so much of u and your partner's genitals!. if they had symptoms of an out break or an out break outside of where the condom covers then u can still have a risk of getting herpes!. the safer way to not get herpes is to not have any kind of sex with some one if they have herpes!.
u can ask future partners to be tested but u may not like some of their reactions!. some guys may fined it insulting if u asked them to take an std test!. if they like u enough then they will get tested, preferably before u have sex!. u should get tested as well!. some people can carry the herpes virus without ever knowing that they have it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
