There is no cure for genital herpes. HSV-2 is different from other common viral infections in that once you're infected with the virus you will have it for the rest of your life. The good news is you'll only have periodic symptoms or sometimes no symptoms at all.
While there is no cure for genital herpes, there are many antiviral treatment options available to make the disease more manageable. These include oral medicines and prescription ZOVIRAX® (acyclovir) Ointment 5%—the only prescription ointment indicated for the management of initial genital herpes.
It's very important to seek treatment by a health care professional at the first sign of an outbreak. So if you think you might have genital herpes, make an appointment with your doctor right away.
