Guys I'm serious. Say a friend of mine visited a prostitute and used a condom always, including oral. What's the chances he got herpes (as that seems like the only transferrable disease with a condom on), also considering the prostitute did not show any signs of herpes?
You've just answered your own question, in the form of a question.
Read this part again: "transferable disease with a condom on."
Also, the medical ads on television are near impossible to miss. I rarely watch television and I've seen the ad about some particular medicine dozens of times - the medicine that makes it less likely for one person to pass herpes on to their partner. If you listen during that ad, it says something like "studies show that 80% of herpes transmissions occur when neither partner is showing signs. <drug> will help prevent this from happening." I'm not sure of the exact percentage, but it was significant.
You're making a good point in that it's known that it can be spread. However, when I hear this commercial all I can think is, who the hell is in that 20% (or whatever the actual percentage is). Seriously, if you're with someone and you see they have herpes....
I just think, only 80%?
