1. IT CAN TAKE MONTHS BUT ONCE YOUHAVE IT, YOU HAVE IT FOREVER NO CURE NOTHNG YOU CAN DO...
2. a month max (i think) talk to a doc
3. Usually anywhere from 2-20 days, but it can take several months and sometimes even years for a person to have their first outbreak. This can make it difficult sometimes for a person to determine who they actually got the virus from. I personally contracted the virus almost 6 years ago. It took me about 3 weeks to have my first outbreak. I had tingling, itching and muscle aches. Herpes also has a very distinctive pain. These are some symptoms for women: * Flulike symptoms, such as fever, headache, and muscle aches. These symptoms usually get better within a week. * Tingling, burning, itching, and redness at the site where an outbreak is about to occur (prodrome). * Painful, itchy blisters on the vulva, or inside the vagina. Blisters may also appear on the anus, buttocks, thighs, either alone or in clusters. They may be barely noticeable or as large as a coin. * Blisters that break and become shallow, painful, oozing sores. * Swollen and tender lymph nodes in the groin. * Painful urination. * Abnormal vaginal discharge.
4. Well, I was going to answer, but really Alli hit the nail right on the head! This is exactly what happens when a woman has genital herpes.
5. All the answers are above..especially Alli and she knows! Try to make sure you only have sex with the person who infected you, we do not want it spreading out into the communityt, your life is ruined, do not spoil ours xx thanx
