A member asked:
Is it possible that a man can show no symptoms of genital herpes but woman does?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Symptomatic manifestations of genital herpes depend upon whether this is a first time exposure, what differences there are in your immune system, and a host of other factors. Carriage of herpes is a lifetime phenomenon, and may occur without symptoms.
