How long can it take for genital herpes symptoms to effect?

Q: Today my girlfriend tells me her doctor says she has genital herpes… we have been together about 3 1/2 months, I do not have herpes. Does this mean she has been cheating on me or can it take this long for symptoms to occur?

A: It doesn’t mean that she has cheated on you, you can get herpes while being monogamous. All it takes is for your partner not to know that they have herpes.She could have gotten herpes from a past partner or even from you. Not only genital herpes causes herpes below the waist, oral herpes can cause break outs below the waist as well. If you have cold sores (they are contagious and caused by oral herpes) then you could have passed cold sores to her genitals.The normal time to show symptoms is between 2-30 days but you could go longer then that with out showing symptoms because your immune system can suppress herpes (they can do a blood test for herpes antibodies, if you have cold sores you will test positive for HSV1 remember that’s what causes cold sores) for months after contraction.Who knows you may have escaped getting herpes, or may never show symptoms. There are things she can do to help prevent you from getting herpes. Just because your partner has herpes that doesn’t mean you will automatically have herpes but you may eventually contract herpes from her.You may want to visit your doctor and get tested for herpes, there is no way of telling for sure how long she could have had herpes.

Who can help me and tell me more about herpes symptom?

Q: Hi all, I am new. I want to know more information about herpes symptom. Can you help me? Who can share share something about it with me? Thanks in advance!

A: Genital herpes symptoms can vary greatly from person to person. Most people never have any symptoms or ones that are so mild they may not recognize them, although some people develop painful and bothersome symptoms.The primary outbreak of genital herpes tends to last longer and be more severe than subsequent (recurrent) outbreaks. Symptoms of a primary outbreak may include:Flulike symptoms, such as fever, headache, and muscle aches. These symptoms usually get better within a week. + Tingling, burning, itching, and redness at the site where an outbreak is about to occur (prodrome). + Painful, itchy blisters on the penis, on the vulva, or inside the vagina. Blisters may also appear on the anus, buttocks, thighs, or scrotum, either alone or in clusters. They may be barely noticeable or as large as a coin. + Blisters can break and become shallow, painful, oozing sores. + Swollen and tender lymph nodes in the groin. + Painful urination. + Abnormal vaginal or urethral discharge. Occasionally a person will experience symptoms months or even years after being infected, making it very difficult to identify the sex partner who was the source of the infection.Recurrent outbreaks of HSV cause painful blisters that rupture, become sores, and heal after 6 to 12 days. Symptoms of recurrent outbreaks are usually limited to genital blisters, sores, and swollen glands. The blisters are most painful during the first 24 hours after they appear. Most people do not have flulike symptoms with recurrent outbreaks. Recurrent outbreaks are usually less severe and do not last as long as primary outbreaks. Symptoms of genital herpes infections in both primary and recurrent outbreaks tend to be more severe in women than in men.http://health.yahoo.com/ency/healthwise/hw270613/te3045;_ylt=AgN6Rr8r3G6rc9soCrb4YVrXNLUF
