When would I see symptoms
> 5 days ago I received unprotected oral sex
> 24 hours after the encounter, I had a deep muscular pain on my left buttock, near my hip/lowerback. > I was very nervous that this was a symptom of herpes, so I made a doctor's appointment.
> The doctor said it was not likely symptom, but gave a week's supply of Valtrex to ease my nerves.
> He also ran a blood test and confirmed that I was not previously infected with any STDs.
> I have also experienced mild flu like symptoms, but I was very worn down from drinking and not sleeping all weekend at a bachelor party.
1. How long after an encounter do men usually experience symptoms?
2. Could the Valtrex suppress these symptoms, so that they would not be visible for a longer period?
3. I want to have sex with my girlfriend. Can I do that safely at this point without a condom?
4. Any chance 2 or 3 tiny, lossely space pimps on my buttocks (not near my anus) could be related.

Maybe never. If you are going to notice obvious symptoms they'd appear within 2-20 days
2. Could the Valtrex suppress these symptoms, so that they would not be visible for a longer period?
yes
3. I want to have sex with my girlfriend. Can I do that safely at this point without a condom?
I wouldn't. To me if you have anything going on genitally - don't have sex again until it's completely gone - for many reasons.

probably just pimples.

grace, i am happy to accommodate. but can you please answer the three questions I asked.
This is a diifficult time and the reason I re-posted was because I did not feel that you were answering my questions.
