General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

It looks exactly like genital herpes infection from what you are describing. The disease is typically spread by direct genital contact with the skin surface or secretions of someone who is infected.This may occur during sex including oral sex.
Maybe your doctor gave you antivirals but once infected, there is no cure.
Antiviral medications may, however, prevent outbreaks or shorten outbreaks if they occur. The long term use of antivirals may also decrease the risk of further spread.
Acyclovir is an antiviral medication and reduces the pain and the number of lesions in the initial case of genital herpes. Furthermore, it decreases the frequency and severity of recurrent infections. It comes in capsules, tablets, suspension, injection, powder for injection, and ointment. The ointment is used topically and it decreases pain, reduces healing time, and limits the spread of the infection.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
