While there is no cure, it can be managed; symptoms can be treated with antiviral medications, and many people experience fewer or no outbreaks over time.   Symptoms Tingling, itching or burning, followed by small blisters or sores around the genitals, bottom or thighs. A first outbreak can also cause flu-like symptoms.   Outbreaks The virus stays in the body and can flare up again. Repeat outbreaks are usually milder and shorter, and often become less frequent over time.   Treatment Antiviral tablets such as aciclovir and valaciclovir shorten outbreaks and ease symptoms. Taken daily, they can also prevent outbreaks.

Genital herpes is a common sexually transmitted infection caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV-1 or HSV-2). It causes painful blisters or sores around the genitals. There is no cure, but antiviral tablets treat outbreaks effectively and many people find outbreaks become milder and less frequent over time. What are the symptoms of genital herpes? Tingling, itching or burning around the genitals, followed by small blisters that burst and leave sores. A first outbreak can also cause pain when peeing, unusual discharge and flu-like symptoms. Repeat outbreaks are usually milder and last a few days. Can I get genital herpes treatment online? Yes. Aciclovir and valaciclovir are prescription-only. At TribElle, you complete a confidential online consultation, a clinician reviews it, and if treatment is suitable it is delivered to your door in plain packaging. How much does genital herpes treatment cost? Treatment starts from £20.00 for aciclovir 400mg (pack of 15) for a first outbreak. Repeat outbreak packs start from £25.00 and daily suppressive treatment from £49.99. Your consultation and pharmacist advice are free. What is the difference between aciclovir and valaciclovir? Both are antivirals that work the same way. Aciclovir is taken three times a day. Valaciclovir is converted into aciclovir in the body and lasts longer, so it is taken once or twice a day. How do I take antiviral tablets for an outbreak? Start as soon as you notice symptoms, ideally within 5 days of a first outbreak or at the first tingle of a repeat one. Take the full 5-day course even if the sores heal sooner. Swallow tablets with water, with or without food. What is suppressive treatment? If you have six or more outbreaks a year, taking an antiviral every day can reduce outbreaks by 70 to 80% and lowers the chance of passing herpes to a partner. Your prescriber will usually review it after 12 months. Can I pass on herpes if I have no symptoms? Yes. The virus can be passed on even without sores, though it is most infectious during an outbreak. Avoid sex from the first tingle until sores have fully healed, use condoms, and consider suppressive treatment if you have a regular partner. Are there side effects? Aciclovir and valaciclovir are generally well tolerated. Some people get a mild headache or feel sick. Drink plenty of water while taking them. Tell us in your consultation if you have kidney problems or are pregnant or breastfeeding. Is TribElle regulated? Yes. TribElle is a UK-registered online pharmacy created for women, by women. All medicines are genuine, regulated treatments prescribed and dispensed by our clinical team.
