How possible and how quickly can herpes spread? Please help!

Posted , 3 users are following.

Recently had sex with someone, who had sex with another person 3 days earlier. The person he had sex with went to the hospital with a severe fever and a "rash" around her anus. She claims to have possibly gotten it (if that's what it is) from a man who had a cold sore on his mouth, a day prior to sleeping with the person I just had sex with. It has been 2 days since I slept with him. No symptoms yet.

This is probably really confusing so I will break it down.

Person 2 (person 1 slept with) - had sex with someone who had a cold sore a week ago. Is now fearing she caught HSV1.

Person 1 (person I slept with) - had sex with person 1, 3 days prior to sleeping with me

What is the likelihood that I have caught it already?

I am freaking out so bad.

    Also, the emergency room said they aren't sure yet if it is or not, and started her on antibiotics.

      Well, now her status is that she is in excruciating pain, and the rash has turned to blisters.

      The other male is now experiencing small bumps.

      I have no symptoms. I am so terrified.

    It was very whorish of that guy that's the best way I can describe it as

    & also I had an active breakout of herpes me and my boyfriend thOught it was an chemical burn ... the whole time We are having unprotected sex !

    I got diagnosed with herpes December 2015 ..

    My ex has gotten tested for herpes three times all negative ,

    We tried to get an fourth test but the doctor said he isn't having any type of symptoms or anything as such . So they wouldn't give him another one .

    Even now we're stlll very very good friends and mess around from time to time ., sometimes we used condoms other times we don't .

    I never had any flu like symptoms or anything like that ., the bumps just popped up out of no where ..

    It could be possible you have it and it could be possible that you don't . I can say for myself I had one outbreak and haven't had another one since ..
