Sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings but unfortunately guys, wearing a condom is no protection from Genital Herpes, HSV-1 or HSV-2. Skin to skin contact is enough especially around the genital area where it's warm or moist. If it's HSV-1 you may not get repeat outbreaks. If it's HSV-2 the first outbreak is always the worst.
There is a good website about it at
http://www.genitalherpes.com/index.jsp . You may also find sites offering miracle cures or relief for GH if you send then an extortionate amount of money. Don't be fooled. There is no miracle cure unfortunately, antiviral's are the only solution form your local VD clinic.
