There isn't a 100 percent way to protect your self from getting it. But here are some precautions to take. Also you're not always doomed to get it from some one that has it if you take some precautions.

Try not to have unprotected one night flings. The more partners you have the more at risk you could be to contract herpes or other stds.

Get to know your partners. Honesty is big in relationships, if you partner is honest with you and they want to be with you then they should tell you if they have herpes or any stds.

If you happen to have a partner has herpes;

Never have sex around the time they have a break out. It's safer to have intercourse when they have no sgns or symptoms of a break out.

The person with herpes should be willing to take antiviral medication or suppressants to help prevent break outs and make them less likely to pass herpes onto you.

Unless you plan on having children with them you can use condoms in between break outs.

If you find it's too much risk for you then maybe you shouldn't be with this person.

If you have hurpes can you still get pregnant?

Absolutely YES! Genital herpes may be passed from one person to another through close physical contact. This means sex and practically anything else that can lead to sex. This includes kissing, oral sex, anal sex, etcetera. Genital herpes does not keep you from getting pregnant. In fact, if you or your partner have genital herpes you should see a doctor immediately. The doctor can show you how to use safer birth control so you don't pass the herpes virus to each other (or anyone else) and do his/her best to make sure you don't get pregnant. Babies born to mothers with Herpes generally contract herpes when they are born from the vagina. Many times, women with genital herpes are forced to have a caesarean delivery (when they cut her tummy open and get the baby out) just to protect the baby from getting Herpes. This is VERY SERIOUS! See a doctor and learn what to do to protect yourself and your partner and NOT get pregnant until you learn more.
