How long do i have to wait to get tested for genital herpes? it's been 7 weeks, is that enough time? the condom broke with my boyfriend who is hsv2+

Herpes simplex: If you were going to get a primary herpetic genital infection it would already have occurred. Testing will only tell you if you have previously been exposed, but will not tell you when or by whom. Some people may get the virus without developing symptoms and this is more true in women.
