Genital Herpes Treatment

Genital herpes is more common than most people think — it affects approximately 1 in 8 Americans between the ages of 14 and 49. While there's no cure, prescription antiviral medication is highly effective at reducing outbreaks, shortening how long they last, and lowering the risk of passing the virus to a partner. Herexa provides completely private, judgment-free care — no one needs to know.

What is Genital Herpes Treatment?

Understanding Genital Herpes

Herpes is caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV-1 or HSV-2). Once infected, the virus stays in the body but remains inactive most of the time. Outbreaks can be triggered by stress, illness, or hormonal changes. Importantly, up to 87% of people with herpes don't know they have it — because many never have visible symptoms.

Common Symptoms of Genital Herpes

  • Painful blisters, sores, or ulcers on or around the genitals
  • Tingling, itching, or burning before an outbreak appears
  • Pain or burning when urinating during an active outbreak
  • Swollen lymph nodes in the groin area
  • Flu-like symptoms (fever, body aches) — often during the first episode

Note: Many people transmit herpes without any visible sores, through what's called asymptomatic viral shedding.
