If a person has genital herpes can they get rid of them with meds?

no.No the disease is not curable. But taking medicine daily can completely suppress outbreaks and greatly reduce the risk of transmission. Valtrex is about the only thing available lately. Hope you're well insured.No, dear. I'm sorry. But there is a bit of good news. Herpes infections are very common. Please do tell people whom you become romantically involved with that you have this infection. You'll find plenty of dates who have it. And I have quite a few patients who have herpes and have never given it to their spouses.

Here's better good news. We're learning more and more about viruses every day. Scientists are working like mad to defeat viruses and the one who figures out how to rid people of the herpes viruses will make a zillion. Even the cold virus has big potential for the person who figures out how to eliminate it. And of course, there is a lot of motivation to figure out how to rid human bodies of the HIV virus. So - there is a LOT of research and money going into eliminating viruses. I have great hopes that a cure is on the horizon.

There are many medications for herpes - some are quite affordable. Zovirax (acyclovir) is one that is generic and I have many patients who are on it and have good results. It's VERY affordable. The newer meds are more expensive, of course. Your doctor will work with you on this.

You could track the progress on a general science news website such as Live Science, Science News. or Science Daily. They have all sorts of science news, including any progress on defeating viruses. You can search for HSV on those websites every few months. Good luck! Do see a doctor, please. They can help you with the symptoms.
