What Is The Treatment For Herpes?
I was diagnosed about 30 years ago with Herpes, the sore appears on my lower back. I dont have regular bouts but maybe approx 6 years or so between an outbreak. Would this be only contagious whilst in blister, I have always been very careful with partners & usually know well in advance before the blister appears.

Antiviral drugs such as acyclovir un low doses of 200 mg regularly can be indicated for recurrent herpes infection.
