Herpes is a virus: Generally palliative treatment is given. There is not a cure for herpes - it is forever if you get it. In rare cases they can give you an antiviral agent. This is if the virus is bear an important nerve or somehow is close to your brain. Herpes of the brain can be deadly.

Herpes: There are three major drugs commonly used to treat herpes symptoms: Acyclovir (zovirax), Famciclovir (famvir), and valacyclovir (valtrex). These are all taken in pill form. Severe cases may be treated with the intravenous (IV) drug acyclovir.
