A member asked:
Help please? i want to know what are the effects of acyclovir on someone that doesn't have herpes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No effect.: The medication not only treats, but prevents the duplication of herpes virus. If you don't have herpes virus then the medication will not have any effect. You don't need to worry.
