I have genital herpes ..
I have genital herpes and my lesions are healed .. if I use a condom in the future and get exposed to HIV can I get it if I don't have an outbreak? I've read somewhere that the risk increases ?

Hello....... Condoms don't give 100percent protection from sexually transmitted diseases. There is always a chance, of 0.1 percentage.. If there is lesion in genitals chance of infection increases.. Because HIV spreads through blood.. Consult general physician for further information.
