A member asked:
Doc prescribed zovirax, (acyclovir) 45 capsules, 1 every 8 hours, no refil, l does she really think i have herpes while awaiting results or just being cautious?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: As he started you on antiviral treatment he thinks you are infected. I would recommend you stop having unprotected sex.
