What are the signs and symptoms of genital herpes?

Other signs and symptoms during the primary episode may include a second series of sores and flu-like symptoms, including fever and swollen glands. However, most people with HSV-2 infection never have sores, or they may have very mild signs that go unnoticed or are mistaken for insect bites or other skin conditions.

Most people who have been diagnosed with a first case of genital herpes can expect to have several (typically four or five) outbreaks (symptomatic recurrences) within a period of one year. Usually, these recurrences reduce in frequency as time passes. It is possible that the person to realize he had a case of genital herpes acquired years after infection.
