So did u get a blood test? what makes u think u have herpes? u should go to a std clinic first before u jump to conclusions, they have special test for herpes. i have hsv2 which is genital herpes and my symptoms didnt appear till a year. but mines was triggered by ruff sex. sore throat isnt a symptom. i dont think mines would have showed till a few years if i wasnt haven sex but that was how i found out i had it which is good because now i can be extra careful when it comes to sex with others.

Two to seven days is a rather large window, but most people tend to see symptoms within approximately five days. Some people never catch it. Some people will catch the virus, but will experience no symptoms. Often times, someone won’t experience symptoms for years after exposure. The virus can be passed to another individual whenever the virus is present on the skin surface. Once we are exposed to genital herpes, the virus can live in our bodies for years without us even realizing it.
