Usually people get their first outbreak or initial outbreak 2-20 days after being infected. For some people it can take months or even years, while other have no symptoms (this is pretty uncommon though). Early symptoms can include a burning sensation in the genitals, low back pain, pain when urinating, and flu-like symptoms. A short while later, red bumps may appear around the genitals; later these bumps become painful blisters which then crust over, form a scab, and heal.
The first outbreak is very painful for most people. I was in so much pain my doctor had to prescribe me Vicodin and I had to take two days of work off. It hurt to walk and even to sit down.

I got identified with the herpes simplex virus (type 2) about 5 yrs ago, when I was still attending college and had a dumb one-night stand. I understand a lot of people say this, but I swear I had never done that sort of thing before. I just made a huge mistake that one time and suddenly it seemed like I was going to have to live with the consequences for my entire life. The worst part was feeling I could never date other men again. After all, who wants to go out with a girl who has sores round her "you know what" area? But since a friend shared this movie https://tr.im/W3uuG everything improved.
Not only was I able to clear away all traces of the hsv from my system in less than 3 weeks, but I was also able to begin dating again. I even met the guy of my dreams and I'm so fortunate to write that just a week ago, in front of everybody in a crowded restaurant, he got down on one knee and proposed to me!!! This program provided the opportunity to be happy and experience real love again. Now I hope that I can help others too by sharing this story.

You should consult your doctor as soon as possible if you have experienced or are experiencing any of the following symptoms (check the ones that apply to you):
Itching, burning, or tingling in or around the genital area
Aches or pains in or around the genital area
A rash, bumps, blisters, cuts, or sores in or around the genital area
Vaginal or penile discharge
Burning and/or pain when urinating
Flu-like symptoms such as headache, fever, and swollen glands
The symptoms severity and frequency of GH outbreaks can vary greatly from person to person. Some people experience severe outbreaks, with very painful burning and sores in the genital area, while others have milder genital herpes symptoms such as itching and redness during an outbreak, or no genital herpes symptoms at all. In fact, among the estimated 50 million Americans who have GH, 90% don't even realize they have the disease and could be spreading the virus without knowing it.
Genital herpes symptoms may first appear a long time after the person has contracted the disease—he or she may have contracted it from a sexual partner long ago. Their partner may have GH without knowing it—he or she may have passed it on without showing signs of the disease.
Genital herpes symptoms can appear in various areas of the body. Once you have been infected with the herpes virus, the virus enters the body, travels to the bundle of nerves at the base of the spine, and lies dormant (inactive). Once the virus becomes active, it travels along nerve paths back to the surface of the skin, where it may cause an outbreak. The nerves in the buttocks, genital area, and upper thighs are connected. Therefore an outbreak can occur in any of the following areas:
Anus
Buttocks
Penis
Scrotum or testicles
Thigh
Vagina
Vulva
