Shingle: The diagnosis is generally made by physician, by taking history and a thorough physical examination. Anti virals started in early course of disease could significantly decrease the severity of post-herpetic neuralgia. But on the othet side, , you are having hepes simpkex 1 or 2, then you and your partner need to be first tested and later discuss treatment options.
