Question 1

What should I take to get rid of a herpes outbreak fast?

Accepted Answer

Acyclovir and valacyclovir are the gold standard when it comes to treating and managing genital herpes. Both are available as oral capsules, and acyclovir is also available as a Topical Herpes Cream. These antiviral medications can also be used routinely to help prevent future outbreaks./nTaking antiviral medication, either Valacyclovir or Acyclovir, is considered the most effective treatment for stopping a Genital Herpes outbreak while in the early stages. Using a home remedy for genital herpes, especially if you are experiencing your first few outbreaks, may not be as effective as prescription herpes medication. Always take a trusted antiviral medication at the first sign of a Genital Herpes blister./nIf you are experiencing more frequent outbreaks, sometimes a change to the frequency and dosage of your antiviral prescription, i.e. taking a daily suppressive dose, instead of only when symptoms start, will better help you prevent herpes outbreaks altogether.

Question 2

Can I take antivirals every day to prevent outbreaks?

Accepted Answer

Yes! You can take Antivirals two ways: 1) Just when you feel an outbreak coming (episodic), which is a 5-day treatment that speeds up recovery and reduces the severity and length of the outbreak but does not reduce your risk of getting an outbreak nor spreading the virus to your partners, or 2) Everyday (suppressive), which can reduce your risk of an outbreak by at least 70-80%, and reduce your risk of spreading the virus to sexual partners down to 1% of the time. When taking daily antivirals to prevent outbreaks and transmission of Genital Herpes, it is uncommon to build up a tolerance to antivirals.

Question 3

Do you require a herpes test for treatment?

Accepted Answer

No, our providers will review your information and discuss your symptoms with you. Herpes testing is an antibody test and many patients experiencing their first outbreak will not test positive. Most physicians (in-person or through telemedicine) do not require a positive test for treatment.
