Brief Answer:
Regarding genital herpes
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I would first suggest a blood test for Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) for confirming the diagnosis. Oral antivirals like either Valacyclovir or Acyclovir are used for treating an episode of genital herpes. Since genital herpes may recur therefore one may require a 5-7 day course of oral antiviral to treat each recurrence of genital herpes.
