A member asked:
How long after unprotected sex would you know if you contracted herpes? after 6 weeks with no outbreak can you feel in the clear?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually after two weeks there is an outbreak, but if no signs then, it lays dormant in your body and occur later if you are under stress. This outbreak could happen months or years later. Be aware of the signs. Painful sores or blisters and many others. Safe sex is always recommended, herpes is forever.
