What are the chances of a girl with an active lesion giving a guy herpes when using a condom?

In: Sexually Transmitted Diseases [Edit categories]

Answer:

The presence of an active lesion may well increase the infectiousness. Covering the lesion improves the chances of not becoming infected but does not eliminate them. Herpes can shed without active lesions so condoms are not as effective against herpes as they can be for other diseases.
