A member asked:
When a female is infected with herpes ii and had sex with a uninfected male how long should the outbreak takes to come out?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The average: incubation period (time until symptoms develop) after exposure (in this case the female's contact with the male) is 4 days, but symptoms may develop anywhere from 2 to 12 days after exposure. Obviously, use of condoms and disclosure of potential for infection is part of responsible intimate, sexual behavior. Stay well.
