Consult a doctor about any of the following symptoms:
blisters that burst, leaving red, open sores in the genital area or anus, or around the thighs, bottom, or mouth
tingling or itching around the genitals
pain when peeing
unusual vaginal discharge
It is also a good idea to contact a healthcare professional after having oral, vaginal, or anal sex with someone who has genital herpes if a barrier method of protection was not used.
The World Health Organization (WHO)Trusted Source describes the risk of the herpes virus passing to a newborn during childbirth. Although this is rare, people who are pregnant and have herpes should let their doctors know.
Using a condom or another barrier method of protection during sex reduces the risk of the virus transmitting. It is also a good idea to avoid sharing sex toys with someone who has herpes.

Anyone with a positive test result should contact a healthcare professional.
Why you should go to a sexual health clinic
You can see a GP, but they'll probably refer you to a sexual health clinic if they think you might have genital herpes.
Sexual health clinics treat problems with the genitals and urine system. Many sexual health clinics offer a walk-in service, where you do not need an appointment. They'll often get test results quicker than GP practices and you do not have to pay a prescription fee for treatment.
What happens at a sexual health clinic
The doctor or nurse at the sexual health clinic will:
ask about your symptoms and your sexual partners
use a small cotton bud (swab) to take some fluid from 1 of your blisters or sores for testing
The test cannot:
be done if you do not have visible blisters or sores
tell you how long you have had herpes or who you got it from
Symptoms might not appear for weeks or even years after you're infected with the herpes virus.
If you have genital herpes, your previous sexual partners should get tested.
The doctor or nurse at the clinic can discuss this with you and help you tell your partners without letting them know it's you who has the virus.
