A member asked:

If you are infected with herpes is it possible to see symptoms the next day?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Herpes: Primary or initial genital herpes symptoms usually appear an average of 2-3 weeks after exposure to the virus infection; however it may be years before the first outbreak occurs. The symptoms of a first initial outbreak of genital herpes usually appear 2 to 10 days the earliest and it varies to some. Many people who had the first primary outbreak are not aware of the outbreak.

Yes: Yes, but two or three days is more the rule. But lesions can occur in a day.
