How soon do herpes lesions appear after sex?
Herpes simplex has a fairly standard presentation. Those who become symptomatic from the infection never forget the episode and dread the beast. The symptoms usually arise 2-3 days after acquiring the infection following sexual activity. Most individuals will have an odd feeling, burning, tingling, pain or an odd ache in the genital area. A few days later, painful blisters will become prominent around the penis or vagina. The number of blisters is variable but most individuals develop at least a couple. The pain is sharp and burning in nature. Many an individual has required admission to the hospital for pain control from a herpetic genital infection.
