Yes.
Laboratory studies have shown that the herpes virus does not pass through latex condoms. When properly used, such condoms are likely to reduce your risk of spreading or getting herpes. Nonlatex polyurethane condoms break up to five times more often, but even the best latex condoms don't guarantee safety. Sometimes herpes sores occur in places not covered by a condom. In these cases, the condom is of little help, if any. In fact, condoms and foams should not be relied upon when herpes sores or symptoms are present.
Some contraceptive foams contain ingredients (such as nonoxynol-9) that kill the herpes virus and other STDs in test tubes. They are best used along with condoms, not in place of condoms.

I am absolutely terrified and I feel so alone. I just found out last week that I tested positive for hsv1 and 2. I have been with the same man for the past 10 years and within the last year found out that he has cheated on me with numerous women. I am so scared that I can give it to my children by kissing them and them eating with me...I feel like my whole life has changed. And even though the nurses, my doctor, and websites say that a lot of people have it I still feel like I am by myself. My self esteem has dropped and I feel like I have been used up. But now, My life is very happy.

Yes but the risk is reduced considerably. It is not advisable to have sex with anyone you consider to be infected ,condom or not.. Condom's have solutions that can kill the virus but its only on them to reduce the risk. There is no gaurentee that for example that the condom wont break.

Yes condom can break or have a tear. The best protection from anything is just say no to sex.

yes, because the cells still shed the virus on the un-covered skin.
I just read this in a magazine insert for Valtrex, as I was sitting waiting for the dentist---nothing else to read, hey lets read the fine print on Valtrex!

it is possible but also unlikely. The probability is greatly reduced by wearing a condom (which is 99% effective)

Definitely. A condom helps prevent it, but is not a guarantee.
