A member asked:
Is it possible to contract herpes and have an outbreak within 24 hours of having sex?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: An outbreak of herpes 24 hours after exposure is certainly possible. Painful red blisters is a good reason to see your doctor immediately. Treatments for herpes work best if started early (within 48 hours of the onset of symptoms.).
