Is HIV Transmission Possible Despite Protected Intercourse?
Hello, I am a 23 year old male. I wanted to access the risk level of a recent sexual encounter. It was a someone of unknown HIV status and I used a condom, however at the time I was having my first herpes outbreak ever (Tested positive for it 4 years ago). The lesions are not really on my penis but rather on my groin and genital area, could I have contracted hiv from vaginal fluids despite wearing a condom?
