Bf contracted herpes from escort

Hi everyone, I’m coming on here because yesterday I received the news from my bf who is also the father of my son that he has herpes on his genitals. He explained that when he went to the doctor yesterday due to sores on his genitals and sores inside his mouth that he was positive for genital herpes. He told me that after he found out that I was talking to another guy (after I found him microcheating for years) in 2022 that he contacted an escort shortly after and met up with her for oral sex. He did it out of spite and as f**cked up as it is he is now telling me because he doesn’t want me to contract it. He said he wore a condom and claims he didn’t stay for the full session as he “couldn’t get it up” due to nervousness and paid her and left. I don’t know what to think right now. It comes as a shock to me and it doesn’t seem real. Is it even possible to contract it even wearing a condom? Could he have gotten one of those thin ones? Idk. What do you guys think? I’m scared he won’t tell me the truth and he is sticking to what he said.
