    …2 condoms? you cant wear 2 condoms at a time because the friction will break them.and you most likely will get herpes

    If she didn’t have signs of an out break then there would only be a slight chance of getting herpes.
    There is no need to use 2 condoms. If she had an out break and you used condoms then there would still be a chance of getting herpes. Condoms don’t cover all areas of the genitals, even if you use 2 of them.You wouldn’t have itching all over your body just around your genitals. Your mind is most likely playing tricks on you. If you’re still worried then visit the doctor and have them run some tests for herpes.

    Condoms only offer protection to skin that is covered. Any skin not covered that comes into contact with the virus will get transmissed. See more on the effectiveness of condoms here:

    First of all, “double bagging” actually increases the risk of both condoms splitting and is a REALLY bad idea. It is not safer.

    Second, you don’t even know this woman has herpes!

    If she DID have herpes, condoms reduce the risk of catching herpes by 30%.

    Herpes isn’t actually that easy to catch, because people with herpes are only infectious for about 15% of the time – and most of that time is when they know they have symptoms and can avoid contact.

    Basically, if you had unprotected sex twice a week for a year – that is about 100 unprotected sexual encounters with your infected partner over the year – but avoided contact during outbreaks – you would have a 1 in 10 chance of catching herpes over the entire year. If you used condoms, that would be a 7% chance per 100 sexual encounters of catching it.

    In other words, the risks of catching it from a single sexual encounter where you used a condom are very low. But obviously, some of us are unlucky and it does happen.
