A member asked:

I have a question about stds. can herpes show up in 5 hours? im not sure if i just had an allergic reaction to a condom. my sex was not unprotected

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: A 5 hour response would likely be to a chemical in/on the condom , a spermicidal foam or other new item encountered in the activity.
