Genital herpes questions...?

A woman I have been dating just let me know she has genital herpes. She has had it for 15 years and has outbreaks about 2 times a year. Living with it for so long she really knows when she is about to have an outbreak, when it is over, etc....
How safe is it for us to have sex if she is not having an outbreak and I use a condom? What percentage chance do they say you can contract it if you are using protection.
I am guessing me performing oral sex on her is out of the question at any time?
I really like this person but want us to be able to have a healthy sexual relationship.
Thank you for your help.

鈥淗ow safe is it for us to have sex if she is not having an outbreak and I use a condom?鈥?br /> Usually during the first year of herpes infection the person may shed the virus about 6-10% of the days when there are no symptoms (asymptomatic shedding). But this number decreases over time. Also condoms are not 100% effective, they can reduce the risk of transmission by more than 50%.

鈥淚 am guessing me performing oral sex on her is out of the question at any time?鈥?br /> If your partner has genital HSV-2 and you perform oral sex on her, there is a very low risk that you will get oral HSV-2. Almost 100% of recognizable HSV-2 infection is genital (Nahmias, Scandinavian Journal of Infectious Diseases Supplement, 1990). Source(s): http://blogs.webmd.com/genital-herpes-in...

The TV is bombarded with those commercials that say that you can spread herpes at any time...try some prescription meds.
