If you are absolutely certain that the person isn't having an outbreak, and you used protection - then you should be ok. However you have to keep in mind that not all outbreaks are visible and there is also known as viral shedding. During viral shedding the herpes virus is active at the surface and can be transmitted despite condom use.

RossIt doesn't really matter if some one uses a condom or not, doesn't make them any more likely to get it. Herpes can be passed even if conoms ARE used. Herpes can affect areas of the genitals that are not covered by the condom, if some one has a break out where the condom doesn't cover their partner could still get it.
First of all you wouldn't want to be having sex when having a sexually transmitted disease. Every STD has its on kind of bacteria, unfortunately for herpes like others, it brings along open blisters with mucus in them which could get infected and worsen more if not well taken care of. Now having sex only worsens the infection and keeps the wounds open for a longer period than normal causing bacteria to get into the wounds which would make them have more purse, multiply and/or enlarge. So answer to this question is common sense, don't have sex whether with condom or not heal first then you can worry about it. Remember herpes blisters can also be infected around your mouth and since they are open wounds, kissing or having oral sex with someone carrying the HIV virus is a very big probability for you to get infected with the virus (they may be having blisters or pimples in their mouth or private parts too) without as much as a thought. See the doctor first and seek more advice.
