The herpes and cold sore virus can lay dormant for various time periods and may be in your system for a time period before any symptoms begin to show.
The usual incubation period of the virus (time before any symptoms show) is approximately two to twelve days after the first exposure to the virus.

Herpes can be transmitted from the mouth to the genitals and vice versa (the second person that answered this question is just WRONG).
Cold sores and genital herpes can be caused by either herpes simplex virus 1 or 2. Generally herpes simplex virus 1 is responsible for cold sores, while herpes simplex virus 2 is usually responsible for genital herpes.
If a person with cold sores gives another person oral sex it's possible for the person receiving to develop genital herpes. Or, if a person with genital herpes receives oral sex, then the person giving oral can develop cold sores.
Herpes sores usually appear anywhere from 2 - 20 days after being infected. Sometimes it can take months and even years to experience a first outbreak though. If you are really concerned you can always go to your doctor or a local STD clinic (like Planned Parenthood) and get tested. Getting tested for herpes is usually done by a physical exam when sores are present, but, if you don't have sores present a blood test can also tell you if you have herpes.
Good luck!

SURE, herpes transmitted by oral and by sex

and by sexual intercores is herpes type 2

It is entirely possible. HSV1 and HSV2 can both be transmitted through oral sex. Please check out this link, and don't listen to misinformation from eltoporides.

Cold Sores CANNOT cause Herpes. The virus is very similar but one cannot cause the other.
Herpes is a nuisance for sure, but no big deal. In most cases it burn itself out quickly and returns rarely.
