HSV Symptoms start about 2 to 12 days after exposure to the virus. They may include:  Pain or itching around the genitals Small bumps or blisters around the genitals, anus or mouth Painful ulcers that form when blisters rupture and ooze or bleed Scabs that form as the ulcers heal Painful urination Discharge from the urethra, the tube that releases urine from the body Discharge from the vagina  During the first outbreak, you may commonly have flu-like symptoms such as:  Fever Headache Body aches Swollen lymph nodes in the groin  Differences in symptom location Sores appear where the infection enters the body. You can spread the infection by touching a sore and then rubbing or scratching another area of your body. That includes your fingers or eyes. Sore can develop on or in the:  Buttocks Thighs Rectum Anus Mouth Urethra Vulva Vagina Cervix Penis Scrotum  Repeat outbreaks After the first outbreak of genital herpes, symptoms often appear again. These are called recurrent outbreaks or recurrent episodes. How often recurrent outbreaks happen varies widely. You'll usually have the most outbreaks the first year after infection. They may appear less often over time. Your symptoms during recurrent outbreaks usually don't last as long and aren't as severe as the first. You may have warning signs a few hours or days before a new outbreak starts. These are called prodromal symptoms. They include:  Genital pain Tingling or shooting pain in the legs, hips or buttocks
