Yes, you certainly can get herpes from
someone even if they don't currently have
an outbreak.
"HSV-1 and HSV-2 can be found in and
released from the sores that the viruses
cause, but they also are released between
outbreaks from skin that does not appear
to be broken or to have a
sore....Transmission can occur from an
infected partner who does not have a
visible sore and may not know that he or
she is infected..."

It just depends. My boyfriend and I have
been together for over a year and it took
14 months for him to get the virus. We
have never used protection together, so I
am not sure.
I just know that you can pass it on at any
time, even when you dont have outbreaks
and even with medication.
