thank you, at what point may one expect to first experience symptoms following exposure? 48 hours minimum?
minimum. the average is about 5 1/2 days but it can occur anywhere from 2- 20 days after infection.
Pain 4 hours after sex just sounds like you had a good time ;)

You don't get prodromes from an initial infection. Prodromes are found only in recurrent infections...
thank you.
as in, would there just be an immediate visually noticable breakout within 2-20 days without preemptive pain etc?
yes you get prodrome like symptoms before the initial ob too ( aches, pains etc ).
If you are still able to contact the person you were with - why not just ask them if they have herpes or have ever been tested for herpes?

Doctor Hansfield says only in Recurrent Infections do you get prodromes. Am I going to have to start a fight with him?? haha
