What are the chances of transmitting herpes to your partner in the condom breaks and spem enters her vagina?
8 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
1.7%: Some estimates suggest a risk of 0.017 (1.7%) per coital act. This means chance increases for every time condom breaks or you have intercourse without a condom. Also, having active lesions is associated with higher risk of transmission. Source: Schiffer et al. J R Soc Interface. 2014 Jun 6; 11(95): 20140160.
