Cold Sore

How long takes to have first outbrake after cold sore infection?
Some website said 8 to 12 days , other 14, and other 21 day

I kissed a girl (11days ago)next day she have something on her lip. She was sure that when we kissed she did not have anything and she is not sure is was dryness or cold sore (did not have any pain) but she did told me that she had cold sore. That was 11 days ago, and I becoming crazy, I will like to know when I will not for sure if Im ok or not.

Typically 2-20 days. Does your GF actually have oral herpes, or just think so? Have you been tested to know your own herpes status?

Oral herpes is an incredibly common skin condition, and 1 in every 2-3 people you kiss will have it. Over half the adult population has oral herpes, and most of us won't make it to the old folks home without it.

You can read more about oral herpes here

Not everyone has noticeable symptoms - and as I said you could already have it and not know it. Did you check out the link I mentioned?
