How long

[jakesplum]

If a man is going to contract genital herpes from a sexual contact with a woman who had a active outbreak when they had sex for the first time..when would the symptoms occur and how long would it be to assume he Didn Not get it?

If you need peace of mind, repeat your herpes igg blood test 4 months after the encounter.

what if you tested 40+ days after  exposure.(1-time and she told me tht she was on valtrex and the experience was  less than  a minute but  she said it was at the end of her OB). and it came back negative(.19)  but  your doctor is telling you that you have  a uti.. although  I am experiencing  some tenderness in my penis and it was  burning slightly when I urinated, I have been perscribed cipro (500 mg) which is  helping but I have  had no other symptoms besides  a tingling in the  penis. the  doctor tested me for  a full std panel. and it  all came back  negative.  I am planing on testing again  but the  doctor said that  he thinks it is a uti. I have a pain in my left scrotum and occasional pain in my buttocks. ALthough I get  pain in my back that alternates near both of my kidney's.  The  doctor keeps telling me that it is a UTI but I am worried especially since Ih ave had  tenderness in my penis. it does not burn as bad when I urinate since I started the meds  but i am  still concerned.

On average symptoms occur within 2-20 days of being infected however most folks don't notice the symptoms.

If the uninfected partner was never tested before, I recommend he gets a type specific herpes igg blood test done now and then repeat it in 4 months.  Should he get any obvious genital symptoms before then, be seen and get a lesion culture and typing done.
