Q: Trying to Get Pregnate

Hello,
my boy-friend an I are trying to get pregnate, the thing is he might have herpes. I have been tested twice and so far both times have come back neg. We have been using a condom and taking the sperm from inside the condom and inserting it into me. Will this work? Also, how long can sperm live for once it hits the air? If any one can give me any kind of input i'd appreciate it.
Thank you,
gina

How old are you? Do you know that you can tbe completely covered from herpes with just a condom. He needs to get some medicine before you try to get pregnant.

Trying to Get Pregnate
Hello,
there is no cure for herpes, there is medication you can take to help with the out breaks, but once you get it that is it, there is no way of getting rid of it. But like I said we don't know for sure yet if he has it or not. I do know that my baby won't get it as long as I have a cessection if I am having an out break. I am 27 years old. So, is it possible to get pregnate the way that I discribed we've been doing it?
Thank you,

Herpes
Herpes is spread through the sperm you've been taking out of the condom and in you...It can also be spread from just having sex , condom or no, from the skin around the genitals....
