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.

if you really love her and are ok with the fact that you probably will end up getting herpes yourself, go for it. otherwise its best to end your relationship now. you can still contract the disease while using a condom, so you are never really safe. however its estimated that 80% of the population has herpes........ usually you can not get oral herpes from genital herpes as far as i know, because they are 2 different strains, so as long as she is not having an outbreak, yes you could go down on her.
You should find the answers to your questions at the website.
You should be able to have a healthy sexual relationship. Many people do when one partner has it and the other does not.
