How Can Genital Herpes Be Treated?
At one time, I took medication to stop acute outbreaks of genital herpes; it was 2 tablets per day for 5 days and that stopped the outbreak for months...I can t remember the name of the drug... Aliz??? perhaps or something like that. I now have a girlfriend who may have contracted herpes from me. First, please remind me the name of that drug and is it one that is equally as effective for women if, indeed she has been infected, please?
