If you have herpes do you not suppose to have sex?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If you have open sores that are moist and leaking fluid, than avoid sex even with a condom. The transfer of herpes is skin to skin contact. Wait at least seven days before having sex and make sure scabs have fallen off and healed.
