How long after exposure will symptoms of vaginal herpes appear?
herpes July 3rd, 2009I have been with one partner in the last year and since he travels I dont see him often but last had intercourse with him a little over a month and a half ago. Last nite I discovered a pimple like blister in my vulva and am a bit worried about it. Is there a chance I may have contracted Herpes after so long?
How long after contact with a person with herpes simplex will it take, before I get symptoms?
It usually takes between two and seven days after contact for the first symptoms to appear, with 4 to 5 days being the most common incubation period. Some people never catch it. Others catch it but show no symptoms. Occasionally it can appear for the first time years after you could have caught it.

I hate to tell you but that is exactly how mine was discovered (may 09). I went to the doctor and they took a culture of the stuff inside the pimple and it was positive for herpes. I have had these off and on for years and only now did I have it checked out because I thought I had a kidney infection.

Herpes can show up within 2 days after, weeks after, years after, and sometimes people never get symptoms at all.
I have Herpes and I got little blisters that popped and became open sores.
