so, if you can answer these questions that would be so helpful and highly appreciated

what are the symmptones ?
and how long usually it takes until I see them ?
Is there any test that I can take to test the Virus and tell me if I have it or not ?
Does it the VIRUS go away itself after a period of time? how long is it?

And... if you already have hsv1 orally (8/10 people have it, 70% of which never do experience symptoms) you will be less likely to transmit hsv2.

Fyi, a blood test for herpes needs at least 4 months to be considered accurate.

First, I know more about HPV than herpes. There are herpes and STD forums on this site that might be able to help with more detailed answers. Without a diagnosis, you might be worrying needlessly though.

what does these sores look like?
They are typically blisters, basically look like Cold Sores. For some people, they are quite mild and mistaken for ingrown hairs, abrassion, etc. A doctor would be able to identify herpes easily.

and where on the body ?
Penis would be the most common location, but they can occur anywhere in the pubic region.

and what exactly happened when they breakout? is it like blood or sth ?!!
The blisters break and release a fluid. It isn't bloody, but the area is red and 'raw'.

if I have it, what is the dangerous in my life except these breakouts ?
Not really, having sex with sores increases the risk of contracting HIV, but HIV is pretty uncommon. Chosing partners carefully and using condoms is the best defense again HIV.
For women, there is risk of transmitting herpes to a baby during child birth. This risk is small and can be greatly reduced with proper medical care.

would I live like normally ? and is it possible that I transfer between the breakouts and I'm under medicine ?
You should live a normal life. This isn't too serious in the grand scheme of things, and it actually very common. Although most contagous during outbreaks, the virus can spread in between outbreaks. In fact, this is probably the most common way to transmit herpes. (most people don't have sex with sores on their genitals). With treatment, the risk is reduced, but I don't think it is eliminated.

and I had like lil acne sore at the bottom of my stomach but way away from my penis..
I doubt that it is herpes. The fact that it seems to come only after shaving would suggest that it is razor burn or an ingrown hair.

Try not to worry and wait for your test results! There is a good chance that you don;t have anything to worry about.

if I have it, what is the dangerous in my life except these breakouts ? would I live like normally ? and is it possible that I transfer between the breakouts and I'm under medicine ?

and I had like lil acne sore at the bottom of my stomach but way away from my penis..and it is white at the top..no pain, and it shows usually after I shave down there
and it goes away without any breaking ? could it be the one u r taking about? or just things that appear after I shave ?!

what are the symmptones ?

Basically cold sores. You get blisters that form, break, crust over and heal. You may have only one outbreak in a lifetime or, several per year. Many people get mild outbreaks and don't recognize them as herpes.

and how long usually it takes until I see them ?

I think the first outbreak is usually pretty soon  (about a week or so) after exposure.

Is there any test that I can take to test the Virus and tell me if I have it or not ?

Yes, there is a test for the virus. It isn't part of the typical std screen, but since you have been exposed to the virus, your doctor may recommend it. Otherwise, doctors usually only test sores.

Does it the VIRUS go away itself after a period of time? how long is it?

The virus does not go away on its own, but there are drugs you can take to lessen the frequency of outbreaks and reduce the risk of transmission.

Do i still pass this virus away after it goes away from me?

It doesn't go away, at least not with current medicine. It is most contagious when sores are present, but can be spread without sores.

cure ?!!

No cure, but it is manageable.

Are you sure you aren't talking about HSV 2, genital herpes?

HPV-2 is associated with common, non genital warts. There is no reason, whatsoever, to be worried about it.
