Question 1

if you are infected with herpes is it possible to see symptoms the next day?

Accepted Answer

Herpes: Primary or initial genital herpes symptoms usually appear an average of 2-3 weeks after exposure to the virus infection; however it may be years before the first outbreak occurs. The symptoms of a first initial outbreak of genital herpes usually appear 2 to 10 days the earliest and it varies to some. Many people who had the first primary outbreak are not aware of the outbreak.

Question 2

can a person get oral herpes symptoms after hours or a day after exposure?

Accepted Answer

Oral herpes?: Herpes I and II are very contagious but symptoms a "day after exposure" may occur from previous contact, not the current one. Stress, either emotional or job related, etc., may cause coincidental activation of latent herpes virus, causing a painful oral ulcer, which would have appeared in any case after your "recent contact", but not because of this contact.

Question 3

is there time limit for the herpes first symptom to show up since the infection day to know for sure i have herpes or not?

Accepted Answer

Usually: Usually it will appear within 14days after exposure to the virus.

Question 4

my herpes blood test came out abnormally high/ positive (after 9 days of symptoms of just pins & needles & tingling on and off (no sores). is there a chance the test could be wrong? the day i first had symptoms was after i kissed someone (within hrs?

Accepted Answer

: Nine days is too soon:  it takes several weeks for the HSV blood tests to become positive. So your positive result has nothing to do with your symptoms. Anyway, "pins &amp; needles" and on and off "tingling" are NOT herpes symptoms. Such symptoms can precede outbreaks of herpes blisters/sores, but by themselves are never due to herpes. Also, herpes blood tests aren't always reliable. Discuss w/ doctor

Question 5

Accepted Answer

The incubation period for Herpes simplex virus infection ranges from 2 days to 2 weeks.

Some people contract herpes simplex 2 without any symptoms.
