1. Usually any where from 2 - 20 days. Sometimes the symptoms can take several months and even years though to develop. This can make it difficult for some people to determine who actually gave them the virus.
2. The first outbreak lasts the longest. Mine lasted about 2 weeks. Reoccurring outbreaks tend to be a lot shorten and a lot less severe then the first one. My reoccurring outbreak usually last a few days to about a week.
3. Painful, itchy blisters can appear on the penis, anus, buttocks, thighs, or scrotum, either alone or in clusters. They may be barely noticeable or as large as a coin.
4. Symptoms of a herpes outbreak can include flulike symptoms, such as fever, headache, and muscle aches, tingling, burning, itching, and redness at the site where an outbreak is about to occur (prodrome). Swollen and tender lymph nodes in the groin and painful urination can also occur.

Every person is different. Physical and emotional stress exacerbate genital herpes so if someone is under a lot of stress they may have frequent outbreaks. You have to really learn your body and be able to tell the signals it sends out when you have genital herpes. Herpes zoster is a virus that settles along nerve fibers which is why it hurts so bad. Some folks feel pain along their sciatic nerve down the leg into the foot a couple of days before an outbreak. Some folks report that the area of the outbreak feels itchy and sore a day or two before the blisters actually appear. When you are able to quickly recognize the signs your body sends before an outbreak, you can train your body to not have an outbreak. Some people successfully keep outbreaks at bay by going on a macrobiotic diet. 500 mg of Valtrex every day works for a lot of people to stave off outbreaks. The main thing about genital herpes is to realize when you are having an outbreak and refrain from any contact with others so you will not be spreading it. You also should warn all your prospective sexual partners that you have genital herpes so they have the opportunity and ability to decide whether or not they want to have a sexual relationship with you. You can successfully go through life with genital herpes and never give it to another person. As far as the location of your outbreaks, they tend to occur in the same area.

You seem to have a lot of questions and very good questions to ask if you are thinking you might have caught herpes. First off, you did get this, yeah it sucks and its not curable, but its not the end of the world either, there are medications that can manage the outbreaks. With that said, to answer your questions 1. Most people experience their first herpes outbreak within 2-20 days of contracting the virus. 2. Outbreaks can last anywhere from 1-3 weeks. 3. If you are a male, (which it seem you are) the outbreak could be on the penis, the testicles, the inner thighs, and buttocks. 4. The first symptoms happen about a week prior to the outbreak. The symptoms are a burning and itching feeling in the place that the blisters are going to develop.

I got identified with herpes virus (type 2) about 7 years back, while I was still in college and had a mindless one-night stand. I understand loads of young ladies will declare this, but I swear I had never done that sort of thing before. I just made a massive mistake that one time and suddenly it seemed like I was going to have to live with the implications for my entire life. The hardest part was feeling I could never date men again. After all, who wants to go out with a girl that has sores round her you-know-what? But since a friend shared this movie https://tr.im/31pyd everything changed.
Not only was I able to eliminate all traces of the herpes virus from my system in less than 21 days, but I was also able to begin dating once more. I even met the man of my dreams and I'm so fortunate to write that just last week, in front of everyone in a packed cafe, he got down on one knee and proposed to me! This program gave me back the chance to be happy and experience real love. Now I want to help you too by sharing this with the World.

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.
Luckly there is a cure for herpes https://tr.im/541b7

1.....It normally takes about 5 to 7 days for the first outbreak.
2.....I can't tell you how long outbreaks last, but I can tell you it is able to be pasted 3 out of the 4 weeks in the month.
3.....The outbreak can be almost anywhere, your thigh, penis, testes, pretty much anywhere in the genital aread.
4.....Can't tell you that either, because herpes lays dormant (hides) in your spine. You may not know you have it, but the best place to check is for a rash on your lower back
