You are more likely to get herpes from kissing than from sex.

In the US about 54% have HSV1, usually associated with oral herpes, and about 16% have HSV2, usually associated with genital herpes. Both viruses can infect either the mouth or genitals (30-50% of new genital herpes infections are caused by oral sex, and in one study 78% of genital herpes cases were caused by oral sex in college students). Herpes is not included in a full STI screening so 80% with herpes don't know they have it.

Condoms reduce the likelihood of transmission by 30-50% but aren't 100% effective because herpes is transmitted skin-to-skin and condoms don't cover all the area that genital herpes shows up.

Always wear a condom. Simples.

1 in 4 women and 1 in 6 men have HSV-2. 80% of these people are unaware that they have it, so clearly it doesn't cause many issues. It's not a big deal at all - just a skin condition when put into perspective.
