Herpes with condom?

Hi professionals, 6 days ago, I had protected sex with an Asian prostitute in China, the condom did not break. However I find four little red blood spot on my penis occurring where the condom could totally cover, in this morning. I do not know if these are herpes
and my question is that: I know condom will not prevent herpes 100%, then if I used a condom, will the area covered by the condom be infected? or the herpes could only occur in the skin where the condom could not cover?
many thanks!

That is the correct conclusion, you would at least get a herpes lesion at the site of entry hence a single sore under the condom is not likely at all to be a herpes lesion.

Thanks,
so the sore in the area covered by the condom would not be the herpes, right? because this area could not be infected due to the condom protection.

Hi, any area thats not covered and makes rubbing contact with her genital area could contract herpes but if she did not have any genital sores at the time, your risk is close to zero for contracting it. Those most at risk are in long term mono relationships where one partner is infected. Seeing some blood does not suggest a herpes infection.
