Herpes is more common in women but that doesn't mean that all women have it or that you definatly will get it.

There are certain times when herpes is more contagious like around the time a break out occurs. In between break outs you're less likely to contract herpes.

Condoms provide some protection, but not 100% protection, against herpes. The reason is that you can have skin to skin contact with an infected area that isn't covered by the condom.

If you used a condom and are not physical injured by it then pretty slim. No condom creates a bigger risk for STD's anally rather than vaginal sex because the anus is more likely to get broken skin during intercourse. But you should always use protection then you just have to worry about skin to skin contagions such as Herpes.

How can you get herpes herpes?

There are various kinds of herpes you can get but the most common ones are hsv-1 oral herpes and hsv-2 genital herpes. This virus is transferred by skin to skin touching. Which means that if you have sex with someone who has genital herpes there is a high chance that the condom won't protect you from the virus. Since the condom does not cover the pubic area where more then likely where the virus will be at. The same goes for hsv 1, if you kiss someone who has it then you might just get it.

Can you take herpes medication if you're pregnant?

Are you in a monogamous relationship and is your partner in a monogamous relationship with you? If both of you are only having sex with each other, and both of you are free from sexually transmitted disease. Then a condom is not necessary as you can't get any more pregnant. But if there is any question in your mind of your partners sexual practices (or if you are having sex with other men) this is not the time you want to be exposed to a disease or to expose your unborn baby via the birth canal.

Can your wife have kids with out the child getting herpes?

Yes. Herpes is spread only when the virus is actively shedding, which is commonly seen in symptomatic patients. Herpes is spread by skin contact and thus is usually not transmitted to the child in utero because of this, however there is a small risk of spread during vaginal delivery as the child's body comes into contact with the mothers genitalia. Several studies have shown that the percentage of babies who acquire neonatal herpes from mothers who have no active lesions at delivery is exceedingly small. For preventive measures in women who are symptomatic with herpes infection during pregnancy, antiviral drugs like acyclovir can be given after 36 weeks of gestation to limit viral production and risk of transmission. Cesarean delivery can also prevent vertical transmission of herpes to the child during birth in women with active genital lesions.
