Does Herpes infection cause extreme fatigue?

My girlfriend has been feeling suddenly very weak and tired, with a little upset stomach as well (diarrhea).
I have been exposed to HSV recently, had some weird symptoms but never developed sores; could this be a sign of her having picked up the infection?

Thanks

Most likely you would have lesions appear to be swabbed. If not then the chance of infection is quite remote. A blood test for antibodies should be taken 12 weeks after exposure.

This does not sound as though it is recommended in your case.

I haven't been tested yet because my potential exposure was very recent, what's the window for testing HSV?

These do not appear to be herpes symptoms for either you or your partner.

What testing has your doctor undertaken on you for a HSV infection and what were the results?
