A member asked:
Is there an amount of time that passes if you've been exposed to herpes where you are safe of not getting it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unclear: I am not sure what you are really asking. But six to twelve weeks past exposure if there is no IgM or IgG antibodies then you are free and clear.
