A member asked:
Is it possible to have first g-hsv outbreak 3 months after exposure to it? do lymph nodes in groin area swell during the first outbreak only or more?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Upon exposure to the virus, it can go in latency period and manifest itself during times of stress. The worst outbreak is after a primary exposure and sometimes the groin lymph nodes may swell up due to the infection Take acyclovir to decrease severity of infection and duration
