Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
There is no drug to prevent the recurrences in Genital Herpes. Spontaneous remission is possible after some years. Aciclovir, Famciclovir and valaciclovir are specific drugs for early healing of these lesions.These drugs in Suppressive dosages for six months to one year could prevent recurrences. These drugs and the appropriate strengths and duration have to be decided by the treating physician. Genital herpes is not a very serious disease and nothing to worry.
