Hello. Thank you for your query at our health forum.
Herpes can lead to a lot of symptoms. Normally the incubation period is around 7-10 days following which you can develop genital sores which can be painful and there can also be a rash. Secondary symptoms can appear as early as 2 weeks, which can be manifested as fever, fatigue, myalgia, loss of appetite, loss of weight, sore throat, a rash involving the palms and soles.
Please get yourself tested, because in case you are positive the earlier you start the treatment the better.
Hope this is helpful,
Feel free to discuss further,
Regards
