oh, another note that you might find useful, if you know you have herpes, you may want to lay off the casual sex when you are having an outbreak, even if you are using protection... not just for the safety of your partner. Herpes sores basicly expose the exact membranes and whatnot that HIV attacks. I've heard various statistics, but you are something like 80% more likely to get HIV from an infected partner if you have sex with them while having a herpes outbreak, scary stuff.
