I understand what u going through, I'm in the same position, anyway to answer your question its 2-20 days most (majority) people will start having symptoms appearing, but it may take longer or never...


In my experience it took 6 weeks but I had multiple Exposures and STDs so its hard to pinpoint when I got herpes
