How long does it take to detect herpes?? I don't have it I was just wondering.

Posted , 3 users are following.

I was wondering, since I have a friend who did it with a guy without it and the next few days the guy messaged her asking if she had anything since he ended up getting bumps all over his genitals, he went to the doctor and they told him he had a yeast infection. That's about it.

    Bumps on the genitals doesn't sound like a yeast infection to me . I'm just saying

    And if your friend is the one having the issues don't you think she should be the one trying to get some type of answers ..?

    I can tell you now a female and a male have the same similar symptoms of yeast infections and bumps are one of those ., so more then likely he is lying .

    Is your friend having any issues yet ?

      I'm not sure, she's actually my co workers friend and I was simply trying to get answers for her... If he's lying about the yeast infection (which guys do get) then maybe he should go get checked again.

      I'm just saying a yeast infection doesn't cause blister bumps .. That has never been the issue .

      Soooo I think both of them should get tested .

    For most people, usually 2-6 days from exposure (but can also be up to 12-20 days max).
