: : Are there any web pages that show pictures of what herpes look like??
: I had a hard time finding pictures online, but you can drop in just about any major bookstore and thumb through a copy of "The Truth About Herpes" by Stephen Sacks. It has pictures of herpes in various locations and stages, and is a really good resource as well. (If you aren't on a super tight budget, I'd recommend just buying it. It's a great thing to have around when you have questions.)
: Good luck.
Just remember, genital herpes can show a very wide range of symptoms - from the "typical" blisters and sores, through to no symptoms at all. Only about 20% of people with genital herpes
get typical symptoms, so the absence of symptoms which look like the pictures in the book is not a reliable giude to whether a person is infected or not.
