You'll know only if you have an outbreak. You'll never forget that. But there are people who have herpes and never have an outbreak in their lifetime.

You'll know if this happens:
The first-time (primary) outbreak of HSV often starts with painful itchy blisters on the penis or on the vulva (the area surrounding the opening of the vagina). The blisters rupture and turn into oozing shallow sores that take up to 3 weeks to heal. A primary outbreak may also include flu-like symptoms, such as fever, headache, and muscle aches; painful urination; and abnormal discharge. However, most people who become infected with HSV have no symptoms, or the symptoms are so mild that they do not recognize that they are infected. The incubation period—the time from exposure to genital herpes until the primary outbreak of infection—is 2 to 14 days.
I have herpes, it took about 3 weeks for mine to initially show up. They are VERY painful!
