Fever
Kind of random question, but I've read that flu-like symptoms (including fever) accompany an outbreak. Could a fever without any other symptoms (ie lesions or blisters) be indicative of an infection? In other words, for a first time outbreak, can the symptoms include fever (without muscle aches) but not actual sores? Thanks.
Only a small proportion of people would suffer from a range of symptoms that did not include blisters or lesions upon infection with herpes. Blood testing 12-16 weeks after the exposure would assist the diagnosis, confirming a negative if this is the case.
Many, many things cause fever symptoms from viruses, bacteria etc. There is nothing really to suggest strongly away from this explanation.
