    mine was about 12 days after sexual contact. my first sign was what i thought was a ingrown hair that didnt hurt. i messed with it till it popped. looking back now I had more symptoms that I just was unaware of. One being extremely watery discharge. I thought I had some kind of bacterial or yeast infection. My whole vagina was red and itchy. on about day three of this I noticed a canker like sore where the original what i now know was a blister had been. at its absolute worst I could hardly walk, but from what I’ve researched I feel my outbreak was fairly mild compared to others. I only ended up with 2 blisters. I’ve read about people having as many as 30 at one time and that thought terrifies me.

    Mine didn't show up for years. I've been with my partner almost 7 years. We even had a baby. I was diagnosed after that. I was told that while they do an std check when you're pregnant, they don't test for herpes unless you have symptoms, even though it can have serious implications for the baby. My partner has had breakouts but he was misdiagnosed and given a bunch of false information about what it was. No swab was ever done on him.
