I recently had unprotected sex with a female who is rumored to have herpes, I am on my 3 weeks after exposure and no herpes symptoms, the only thing I have had for a couple of days is my left foot and back leg has been feeling tight muscle in the back of my leg, and center of foot achy, was wondering could this be something to be worried about? Please can anybody help me I'm freaking with anxiety until I get to take my HSV blood test

    That can be anything . If you have no outbreaks or other feeling itching, tingling try to relax until you get your results. Did u ask her if she had herpes??

    though herpes is widely spread for quite long time but still this disease considered mysterious and though symptoms may defer from one to another but I don't think yours could be herpes , I never experienced such symptoms before or during my first outbreak , anyway much speculations will make things worse, I think you better wait till the blood result come out.

    It does have symptoms of muscles aching..I think I've had herpes for years but I just found out last week...I've noticed little aches over the last two or three years but didn't put two and two together until I was diagnosed and read about it. Symptoms sometimes won't show at all,show up quickly,or take forever with this disease..ask her,and then definitely get tested asap..

      I got tested 10 days after exposure but doctor said it would be a false negative if anything, was muscle aches your only symptom?

    Could be. Don't "get to take my HSV..." do it now. The only way to end your useless & harmful stress.
