Herpes and condoms
I was diagnosed with herpes over a year ago and as mentioned in another post I recently had vaginal sex with a female csw , fully protected and condom did not slip or break , I have not had a outbreak in 3 Months and take suppressive therapy , I just need to know if my risk of HIV is still high as I have read that that herpes increases chance of catching HIV ? Any info would be greatly appreciated , I know It was wrong but am very worried about the situation I stupidly put myself in .
Thankyou so much for both your replys , won't be making a mistake like that again !
What you read was true but only if the sex was unprotected which it wasn,t.You used protection and therefore had no risk and no testing is required,your safe.
