Genital Herpes

Genital herpes is a sexually transmitted infection caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV-1 or HSV-2). It results in painful sores and blisters in the genital area. Medicated treatments, such as antiviral drugs like aciclovir and valaciclovir/Valtrex, can help manage outbreaks by reducing the severity and duration of symptoms. These medications can also be used as suppressive therapy to lower the frequency of recurrences. Early and consistent treatment is crucial for managing symptoms and reducing the risk of transmission to partners.
