You are so wrong. Herpes is only mildly contageous WHEN THERE IS AN OUTBREAK. When there is not outbreak, it is generally not communicable (except, possibly, via viral shedding, which also occurs infrequently). Further, condom use greatly reduces the risk of transmission--even during an outbreak.
I am not saying these are reasons for playing during an outbreak. I am merely saying that your conclusions concerning the disease are based upon a very bad assumption.
