Suggest Treatment For Itching And Pain Due To Genital Herpes

Hi. My long term partner gave me genital herpes 6 months ago, he only had mild symptoms (a swollen gland for a few days, no blisters) so he wasn't aware he had it. My symptoms started a week or 2 after this and I have been tested and it has been confirmed to be hsv1. Since then I have lost count of how many breakouts I've had, it has to be about 15 now. It's only ever gone for a week at the most then it's straight back for a week or 2. My doctor started me on 200mg of aciclovir twice a day about 2 weeks ago but it still isn't suppressing it. In fact it seems to be constantly there now itching, discharge, tingling and shoots of pain, and I have been tested several times for everything else whilst trying to diagnose this. I have read that it is normal for people to get just a few breakouts a year, why is it so bad for me? And what can I do to stop it? It's really affecting my life
