Hello, I recently came back from my doctor's office, because I had an unprotected oral in march. He told me in most cases, the symptoms would show up from 3-10 days. However, my research from internet says 2-20 days. However, it is also possible for someone to have hsv without symptoms for years.
I hope this information helps. I know it sucks not knowing for sure. I am waiting for my 3 month period as well.

To get a valid HSV result get tested using an IgG blood test three or four months after exposure so if you had sex three weeks ago then get tested maybe the second week in June for more accurate results.
