ALWAYS WITH CONDOM. And he should consider taking an anti-viral and not engaing in sex when he has any signs of recurrence or rash - meaning an active outbreak.  It should be clear that he can still infect you during those times when he is not "having a recurrence" since there are cycles where the virus sheds even without a rash or pain present.
