It depends, every person is different. For many it can take any where from 2-20 days and for others it can take months and even years. I personally had my first outbreak about 3 weeks after I contracted the virus.

Most people who are infected with HSV 2 or genital herpes are not aware of it because they never have any symptoms, or they do not recognize any symptoms they might have. However, if signs and symptoms occur during the first outbreak, they can be quite pronounced. When symptoms are present, they can be different in each person. Usually when a person becomes infected with herpes the first outbreak occurs within two weeks after the virus is transmitted, and the sores typically heal within two to four weeks. The first episode of symptoms usually last two to four weeks.

I am absolutely terrified and I feel so alone. I just found out last week that I tested positive for hsv1 and 2. I have been with the same man for the past 10 years and within the last year found out that he has cheated on me with numerous women. I am so scared that I can give it to my children by kissing them and them eating with me...I feel like my whole life has changed. And even though the nurses, my doctor, and websites say that a lot of people have it I still feel like I am by myself. My self esteem has dropped and I feel like I have been used up. But now, My life is very happy.

if you have never been exposed before it will come on relatively quickly - within a wk or 10 days. if it is your first outbreak you will not miss it as it is very painful with multiple sores. it definitely does not take 2-6 mos as other poster has said.

Herpes can be undetected for long periods of time,that's why doctor suggest getting tested regularly for STDS, especially if you're having un-protected sex.
