Is There Any Chance Of Transmission Of HPV If Using Condom?
My partner has both types of herpes, along with strands of HPV that cause genital warts. Although I know it's possible to greatly reduce the risk through condoms, there is still a chance of transmission, and therefore the odds are against me if I wish to engage in constant sexual activity with them.
My research has lead me to believe that the only way of bringing the risk down to 0% (not low risk, but zero risk), is by having sex with a condom and clothes on, my penis sticking out from under my boxers. Of course, latex gloves have also been mentioned, and my partner is perfectly fine with it as not spreading the diseases are imperative to both of us.
Would any kind of sexual activity be safe in this case, considering we don't kiss?

Detailed explanation,
1.The chances of getting hiv is negligible when one of the partners having hiv positive status by using condom
2. Only when the condom tear or using condom only at the end of the sexual intercourse will increase the risk of hiv transmission
