Herpes and Condoms
Adviceman49 here. Found this article about herpes transmission prevention, transmission and condom usage. I thought you might want to read it. [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)

I would like to thank you for making the exact point I wish you would have made to that young woman, now infected with herpes:
From the page you sent me:
"...condoms do not guarantee safety. This is because the herpes infection is not always located in an area that can be covered by a condom."
Condoms are not 100% effective against herpes, or HPV. Not even close.
Current status on this, by the way is with the lawyers. She has herpes outbreaks on her face, vagina/anus and has been diagnosed with ocular herpes, which will eventually leave her blind in one eye.
Please take better care with your advice. Bad advice hurts people. In this case listening to "fatherly advice" destroyed her life. Had she been one year younger, you would be in court over this.
Stop trying to defend your position. It is wrong. Period. Even the people you send me to defend your position are making the simple point I originally asked you to make: Using a condom doesn't make you 100% safe from anything.
