What is herpes?
Herpes, aka herpes simplex virus, is a common sexually transmitted infection (STI) that affects an estimated 1 in 8 people. There are two types of herpes virus: HSV-1 (aka oral herpes) and HSV-2 (aka genital herpes), but either type can cause sores in either location.
Symptoms and frequency of outbreaks can vary from person to person. Even without visible symptoms, herpes can still be transmitted to sexual partners.
Oral herpes (HSV-1) symptoms often include:
- Small, open, painful sores or blisters in or around the mouth (aka cold sores)
- Flu-like symptoms such as fever, body aches, and swollen glands
Genital herpes (HSV-2) symptoms often include:
- Small, painful sores or blisters around the genitals or anus
- Itching and/or burning sensations
- Flu-like symptoms such as fever, body aches, and swollen glands
How can I get rid of a herpes outbreak fast?
The most commonly prescribed antiviral pills for herpes outbreaks are:
- Acyclovir (Zovirax)
- Famciclovir (Famvir)
- Valacyclovir (Valtrex)
We can also prescribe topical treatments, like lidocaine cream to help with pain during outbreaks or topical antivirals you can apply directly to the outbreak.
After you fill out our intake form on your phone or computer, your Hey Jane provider will evaluate the whole picture. This includes discussing your history of prior infections, your current symptoms, and what has or hasn’t worked for you in the past.
