How do you treat Herpes 1?

[getSTDtested Administrator]

There is no treatment that can cure herpes, but antiviral medications can shorten and prevent outbreaks during the period of time the person takes the medication. In addition, daily suppressive therapy for symptomatic herpes can reduce transmission to partners.

Specific treatments for herpes simplex include the prescriptions Zovirax, Valtrex, and Famvir.
