"I have herpes and I would like to have information about the treatment of herpes. Does the treatment make the disease less contagious and if so, to what extent?"

In order to access antiviral medications for herpes treatment, you will need a prescription written by a doctor. It is best to consult your healthcare provider for more information on the cost and how to obtain these medications. Taking antiviral medication daily, known as suppressive therapy, can help reduce the number of outbreaks and the amount of virus present on the skin, potentially reducing the risk of transmitting the virus to others.
