What can i do to never have another outbreak of herpes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Can't be promised...: Although there are good medications to suppress the virus and reduce outbreaks, none can guarantee that you will never have another outbreak. Unfortunately, the current medicatios can only be treated, not cured. As a result, there is always a chance of an outbreak even during suppressive treatment. Consult doc if you have trouble. Good luck.
