Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I can understand your concern. The chance of contracting HIV in this situation is highly variable, depending on many factors. Having genital herpes at the time of sexual intercourse does increase the risk. Other factors include proper or improper use of a condom, whether or not the condom broke, the type of intercourse (oral, vaginal, or anal), the partner's HIV status, and whether or not she is taking antiviral medication.
