If my partner has a history of herpes and genital warts and is not currently having an outbreak of either warts or herpes, can I contract either of the STDs from vaginal or anal intercourse?
Herpes: As with oral sex, research does show that it is possible to become infected with herpes even if your partner is not currently having an outbreak. If either partner has genital herpes, it is best to abstain from sex when symptoms or signs are present and to use latex condoms at all other times, between outbreaks.
