Answer 1

If you were having an outbreak, you'd be aware of it. It's like cold sores "down there"... very painful. But you may NOT be aware of the beginnings of an outbreak, and that's when you could infect someone else, when you haven't developed symptoms yet.

But the virus can remain dormant and undetected for some time so you can be asymptomatic.

Best to get a blood test to be sure.

Usually a person infected with genital herpes get their first outbreak about 2-20 days after being infected. Some people can take longer though, everyone is different. Also, you can't get a culture test if there is nothing to culture, like a sore or growth. If you don't have anything present you can't have a culture test. This is usually done when you are having an outbreak or what looks like an outbreak.

You would definitely be aware of it if you were having your first outbreak. If you were having your first outbreak or going to have one this is some of the symptoms:
* 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 that 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.

My first outbreak was so painful, my doctor gave me a prescription for Vicodin and I had to call off of work a few days. I had my first outbreak about 3 weeks after I was infected. If I were you I would go back to the doctor and have them do a blood test on you. Good luck!

Herpes is most certainly one of those conditions we all would like to avoid throughout out lifetime. Though, for some, it is an unavoidable circumstance. Just some bad luck I suppose, perhaps even the end result of the ONLY time you forgot or decided against using a condom. As this the case for me =X ... I tried just about every treatment and solution out there, both over-the-counter and prescription. Nothing it seems would work, or render unto me any real results. All I came across was much frustration, and several bad side effects. The worst thing was realizing I would have to continuously apply these treatments for the rest of my natural life.

I did not make any progress with my condition- none, not until I looked into obscure alternative methods. Nàtural remedies. I spent several days and nights pouring through an endless amount of first-hand accounts and other personal experiences with various products and solutions. This is when l foúnd https://herpesrelief.im ... worked like a charm. I wàs able to relieve myself cómpletely of this condition- having 100% control over outbreaks. The bẹst part of all, this was done nàturally- and bumps/warts have not returned. Look, I know how it is. Herpes sucks, and it sucks bad. It leaves you bitter about the one who gave it to you, leaves you feeling insecure about yourself, and frightened you may pass it on to someone else.

I am acutely aware of, and understand dilemma all too well. But worry not, as there are rẹal solutions and options out there. I wish you aII the bẹst of luck, and a speedy recovery!

There are two types of herpes simplex virus: HSV-1 and HSV-2. Both virus types can cause sores around the mouth (herpes labialis) and on the genitals (genital herpes). Cold sores are caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV).
Cold sores sometimes called fever blisters, are groups of small blisters on the lip and around the mouth. The skin around the blisters is often red, swollen, and sore. The blisters may break open, leak a clear fluid, and then scab over after a few days. They usually heal in several days to 2 weeks.
The herpes simplex virus usually enters the body through a break in the skin around or inside the mouth. It is usually spread when a person touches a cold sore or touches infected fluid—such as from sharing eating utensils or razors, kissing an infected person, or touching that person's saliva. A parent who has a cold sore often spreads the infection to his or her child in this way. Cold sores can also be spread to other areas of the body.

Answer 7

If you didn't break out within 7 days of sleeping with the infected person you are definitly in the clear four months later. You will definitly be aware of an outbreak. Jesus, use protection. You can't be tested for herpes via bloodtest...you have to be tested during an outbreak.

Answer 8

It is impossiable to have a herpes culture done if you have not had some sort of outbreak , even if its one teeny tiny bubble , that would be your out break , but they have to cut it open to get a culture , you could have blood work done , its not as well as the culture .

my first outbreak was not really noticable

no i'm not always aware of outbreaks , mine are too tiny and there be like two (a facial zit is larger and more painfull) ..its not like those photos online for all people , those are out of hand outbreaks ..

Answer 9

No,i don't thik it's safe to say that,because only a bloodtest will tell you for sure.I'm not exactly sure what all the symptoms are,because I've never had it,and hopefully never will,but I do know a herpy can be only as big as a pic head at an early stage of outbreak.

Answer 10

you will have bumps or lesions on or around the genitals the best way to be sure is to go to the dr. there are meds out to slow down the progresion of herpes and stop having so many outbreaks......you must use protection if you plan on having sex as you dont want to pass this on to your partner or if you think you have herpes contact your previous partners and tell them to be tested also
