most of the cases yes but often hsv 2 can move to genitals as it resides int he spine unlike hsv-1 which resides behind the ears.
also...If HSV 2 enters through the mouth...will it only cause breakouts in the mouth region or still in the genital area? Is it possible to transmit HSV 2 through sex then if it was contracted in the mouth? Please advise...thanks.
Is it true that blood tests might not pick up Herpes infection for 3-6 months? Again, I haven't had a break out yet and tested negative 11 days after exposure. Is it still teoretically possible to have it? Just trying to calm the ole nerves.
Usually you will have an outbreak 2-20 days after initial infection. Which is accompanied by other flu like symptoms. Of course this is just from my research, not personal experience.
If you are really worried, go get tested - but I'm willing to bet you are HSV negative from performing oral on a stripper, especially for 15 seconds.
Thanks. Would I def. have had a breakout by now if I had herpes? I'm five weeks post exposure
From what I understand it is more difficult to transfer HSV from mouth to genitals and vise versa, especially if it was only 15 seconds.
