Once you contract herpes how long does it take for symptoms to appear?

I was diagnosed with herpes recently and I must say it hit me very hard, as i didn’t not want to hear that what so ever. But my dilemma is that I do not know who gave it to me as I had a regular casual partner and then on a drunken night I engaged in intercourse with someone else, which i really regret but I just really want to have a rough idea of who it’s come from.

    There’s really no sure way to tell who you got it from unless you know for a fact you didn’t have herpes before the drunken one night stand guy

    Some people never develop symptoms. Those that do, however, typically do so within a week, up to two weeks. That is applicable to most (but not all) symptomatic individuals.

      The doctor said  that because I caught the flu when I did that means I would have just recently caught herpes then he said discreetly that as a doctor they not meant to tell me that!
