A member asked:
Can a person still get herpes even if he or she use a latex condom?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Condoms do not cover all of the genital surfaces that can be exposed during sex. Fluids that could carry the germs may contact and seed these areas. Condoms are a good product in general but do not stop all STD's or eliminate all risk involved.
