It all depends...: It is all up to your immune system. Many people get to resist the virus and don't get infected even when they came in contact with it, others carry the virus with no symptoms for a long time( even years), and others can develop symptoms few days later after contact( 3-6 days).

Within 2 weeks,: The incubation period for Herpes can be anywhere from 4 - 14 days. Pl get yourself screened for STD now for your baseline, initial status and repeat them in about 4 wks for any conversion to get properly treated, as needed.
