Genital herpes is caused by HSV-1 or HSV-2 and is spread through skin-to-skin contact during vaginal, anal, or oral sex. The virus can remain dormant in the body and reactivate periodically, leading to recurring outbreaks of painful sores or blisters.

Initial outbreaks are often more severe and may be accompanied by flu-like symptoms, including fever and swollen glands. Subsequent outbreaks tend to be milder. Antiviral medications such as Aciclovir and Valaciclovir are used to speed up healing and reduce the severity and frequency of flare-ups.

A prescriber will assess your medical history and symptoms to determine whether short-term treatment for outbreaks or daily suppressive therapy is more suitable for you.

Aciclovir is typically taken three to five times a day during an outbreak. Valaciclovir offers a more convenient twice-daily dosing option. Both are highly effective in reducing viral activity and preventing transmission, especially when started early in an outbreak.

In addition to medication, self-care measures such as keeping the affected area clean and dry, avoiding tight clothing, and abstaining from sex during outbreaks can help reduce discomfort and promote healing.

Ordering genital herpes treatment online is discreet and straightforward. Select your treatment, complete a short medical consultation, and a licensed UK prescriber will review your submission. If approved, medication is dispatched quickly and discreetly.
