how long does it take for the symptom of herpes to take effect after sex if your partner have it?
Answer:
Actually, most people with herpes don't have any symptoms at all. This is how 20% of the population can have herpes, yet it still be considered a disease that only “dirty” people get. Most people who have it don't realize that the've caught it - even though they can go on to infect other people.
If you’re going to get a “classic” initial outbreak - not just sores, but also a fever and body aches - then it will likely come between two days and three weeks after infection.
But many people go weeks, months, or years before they’ve their first outbreak.

Good question.
Answer:
Following infection with herpes simplex virus (HSV), symptoms typically begin within 10 days. The first sign on the skin might be an area of reddening. This is often followed by the development of blisters or ulcerations (often grouped together as ‘lesions’, which describes any irregularity of the skin). The blisters, which can look like small pimples, burst to form an ulcer and then crust over.
In women, the lesions in a first episode can occur on the lips of the vagina (the vulva), urethra, cervix, upper thigh and around the anus. In men, lesions can occur on the penis, urethra, scrotum, upper thigh and around the anus. The lesions are often painful for an average of 9 days and take 2–3 weeks to heal. Some patients might experience general symptoms such as fever, muscle pain/tiredness and swollen and tender glands (lymph nodes) in the groin
