Yes about 5 days for symptoms and yes herpes can be contracted when no sores are present, its called shedding and happens about 20% of the time.
Can you catch herpes if there aren't sores visible? Like when it's dormant?
So the majority of symptoms appear 5-7 days later. Am I understanding you guys correctly?
Hi also, a white puss penis discharge and burning while urinating or urethra itching that appear about 5 days post exposure. With herpes it would be genital sores esp on the shaft that also appear about a week later followed by flu like symptoms..
What are typical symptoms?
Since you have a regular partner at home, best to follow up with proper testing at the proper times. You can get tested for chlamydia and gonorrhea within 1 week post encounter. Syphilis after 6 weeks. Herpes, hiv, and hepatitis after 3 months. Should you experience any symptoms, be seen within 48 hours of their appearance for an exam and testing of symptoms.
