Symptoms include, fever low grade, headache that doesn't go away with meds, swellon glands usually in the genital area, itching and burning (serve or mild) one or the other or both at the site of contact, extreme fatigue, body, aches and pains then sometimes a cut or a bump that sometimes turns out to be a blister looking lesion, and then turns to a sore.... Not everyone presents with Herpes in the same way some people may have a very mild first OB, that can even resemble a yeast infection and a little bump, they never think it is anything but and dismiss the symptoms, some people will have a full OB with all the symptoms listed above and then some people may never have any and still have the virus and go around passing it and never know they have it... IF you think you have any of these or you have been in contact with someone who has it, my best advice would be go to be tested, understand that Herpes can take up to four months to show up in the bloodstream, so the first test may come back Negative so it is best to be re-tested in 4 months... IgG is the most reliable and accurate test on the market... :) Take Care
