Can herpes show up 24 hours after exposure?


Recommended Posts

Friday night I was drinking with my friend and her bf. They both have genital herpes. Apparently her bf has gotten an outbreak on his mouth but she never has. I’m not sure if they passed it to me but my friend kissed me (I pulled away) but we shared Pepsi and beers because I was only nervous abt skin-skin contact even tho none of them have an active outbreak on either genital or face. Anyway, Later that night I gave my boyfriend a blowjob and the next day, which was yesterday, he told me he had a bump near his groin.  
 

I feel like I was closer to exposure than he ever was so is it just a coincidence he got a bump right after I blew him the night I was with my friends?  I told him not to worry cuz I don’t have any cold sores but I was involved in kinda risky behavior by sharing with them.

Hi @Missmissy

Based on the facts you gave, it wouldn't be possible for multiple reasons:

  1. If they have genital herpes, it can't be passed orally.
  2. Sharing drinks isn't how herpes is transmitted; it spreads via skin-to-skin contact only.
  3. An outbreak wouldn't show up within a 24-hour period.

Here's an article to get the overview on how herpes spreads: https://www.herpesopportunity.com/post/how-can-you-get-herpes

I was talking to my friend and learned after the fact that her boyfriend has had an outbreak on his lips before so  I’m not sure if it’s both or just oral. 
However, I just read through the article and believe my risk is low because he doesn’t have any cold sores and I didn’t Directly touch his lips. 
 

the two have been together 4 months, kissing, and she’s never had it spread to her lips so i don’t think she would have given it to me with a quick kiss either.
