I am a 22 year old male and think I have contracted herpes. Where will the symptoms appear?

In men, herpetic lesions are most common near the tip of the penis. A few individuals do develop the blisters on the shaft of the penis. 


In those who engage in anal intercourse, the blisters can occur around the entire anus. Lesions around the buttocks and back of the thigh are also common.


In women, the lesions are most common on the inside of the labia and cervix. However, the lesions may occur anywhere on the inside or outside of the vagina.
