What is Herpes?
10. Treatment
As yet there is no known cure for genital herpes. However, treatment is available that can help to manage the patient’s symptoms. This tends to involve antiviral medication that can help to limit the severity of symptoms when they arise. They can also help sores to heal sooner, and cause the symptoms to last for less time.
In addition, medication can help to reduce how often the symptoms will recur. They can also help to reduce the chances of the disease from being spread to other people. If you have recently been diagnosed, then you should let recent sexual partners know so they can also get checked and get treatment if necessary.
