Does Valtrex Help Cure Herpes?

I recently saw my primary care physician for 3 red lines near the vagina. She thought it was herpes & took a culture. She took cultures of all 3 areas & I was put on Valtrex immediately. The cultures came back negative, but the Valtrex seemed effective. My husband & I have been married for 45 years in a monogamous relationship so we were surprised at the diagnosis of my primary as neither of us have other symptoms. Do you know of anything else that could mimic herpes?
