What is genital herpes?
Genital herpes is caused by the herpes simplex virus. It causes painful blisters or sores in the genital area and can recur throughout life.
-
What antiviral treatments are available for genital herpes?
The main antivirals are aciclovir, valaciclovir, and famciclovir. They can be taken at the start of an outbreak (episodic treatment) or daily to suppress outbreaks (suppressive therapy).
-
Can I reduce the risk of passing herpes to my partner?
Yes. Using condoms, taking suppressive antiviral therapy, and avoiding sex during an outbreak all significantly reduce the risk of transmission.
-
How often do herpes outbreaks occur?
Frequency varies widely. Some people have frequent outbreaks; others have very few. Outbreaks often become less frequent over time.
-
Is genital herpes curable?
There is currently no cure for herpes, but it is a manageable condition. Antiviral treatment is highly effective at controlling symptoms and reducing the impact on daily life.
