I was just wondering if you only have symptoms of genital herpes when you're having an outbreak. I understand that the obvious is genital sores…but I was wondering what happens when you are not having an outbreak? do you have symptoms like fatigue or upset stomach? Or do you only experience symptoms when you are having an outbreak? Thank you for your answers!!

If you're worried about your own symptoms you can call this Hot Line and explain to
them what you are experiencing and they can help. They are American Sexual Health Association (ASHA) trained counselors and the call is toll free: 1-888-855-3479
They also can arrange for confidential lab testing near your home and afterwords a consultation with a staff physician who can fax a prescription to a local pharmacy. All handled quietly, professionally, and confidentially at least in my own case.
Been there and done that, you might say.
