Dr said my bf has herpes in mouth but its curable i looked online and it doesn't say nothing about cure can she be wrong? is it contigious?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Herpes: Herpes can be treated to shorten the course of symptoms, but is not curable. This does not mean that he necessarily passed it to you. Also, ask the doctor for clarification as herpes does not generally affect inside the mouth, but rather on the lips.
