I have a question concerning the timeline for herpes showing up in the bloodstream. I fully understand that it could take quite some time for symptoms to surface. However, I'm needing to know if a couple has unprotectied sex, is it possible for herpes to show up in a blood test within 12-15 hours?
I have a pair of friends who are dating and were suppose to wait until after a full STD screening prior to becoming sexually involved. They broke the agreement the night before they were to get tested. About 15 hours later(next morning), they went ahead with their testing and neither suspected any issues. Unfortunately, they both came back positive for herpes and the female immediately blamed the guy for passing herpes to her. They will have to sort out who was the carrier but, I'm wondering if its even possible to be passed and show up that quickly. I've only talked to the guy but, I told him I'm thinking they both must have already had it. Please share your thoughts.
