I have a few questions please.

How long does it take for herpes symptoms to appear after exposure?
I had unprotected oral sex and deep kissing. it has been almost 9 weeks and a few mouth sores appeared in my mouth :(. Although it could be from the augmentin I am taking right now ( it is my 6th day of taking augmentin). I have a bacterial infection in my throat and the doctor prescribed me this. The mouth sores appread 2 to 3 days after I started taking my medication. I read that augmentin does cause mouth sores. It's one of it's may side effects. But I am worried still. :(

would you just now be showing symptoms of oral herpes if you were infected 9 weeks ago? no you would not.

if these symptoms are new, go and be seen today and get them checked out.
