Herpes SOS!
If you have oral sex with a person with herpes during the out break, how soon the symptoms will appear?”
Thanks for the query. Herpes is a disease that’s quite easy to avoid if you have protection in place - condoms, latex gloves, other barrier methods, etc.
And if your partner had herpes and didn’t disclose it - shame on them for not telling you. Herpes can be controlled with antiviral medications, but it is something that is never cured.
So, if you’ve been exposed, chances are good that this is something you will need to deal with for the rest of your life.
Herpes is transmitted when there is an outbreak, but it can also be transmitted when there are no visible sores - though this is rare. If your mouth had an open cut or broken skin, the herpes virus can spread into that cut and cause the disease.
It can take up to two weeks for the herpes sores to appear after initial contact so if you haven’t seen the sores come up yet, there’s still time for them to develop.
The reason why you don’t see the sores immediately is that the virus needs time to replicate in your body - so it might seem like you’re in the clear…until you’re not.
Outbreaks generally last for a few weeks, and then go away, and then the sores will reappear again and again throughout your life.
