How Fast Herpes Show Up
How fast would I see the signs of herpes after intercourse. A day, few days, weeks, . . .?

Re: How Fast Herpes Show Up
Any and all of the above.
IF you show a reaction, it will likely appear between 3 - 21 days post exposure. Some people take longer.
However, it's possible to get the virus, and never show any symptoms for, literally, decades.

Re: How Fast Herpes Show Up
when you say years and decades.. I am wondering how it did not get detected? When you go in for physicals and doctor stuff do they not test for for all STDs or do you have to specifically ask for the "herpes test"?

Re: How Fast Herpes Show Up
Herpes testing is NOT part of a regular STD test, how crazy is that? You have to ask for it specifically. That's why there are large #'s of people who have contracted it & possibly spread it and aren't even aware or they are aware & chalked the symptons up as something else (ie: rash, jock itch, ect) or are aware and just live in denial.
The %'s of people affected are phenominal. -Orn.

Okay, so you have to specifically ask for a herpes test -- good to know. Thank you.
