A member asked:

Can't we move the herpes virus outside the neurones then use acyclovir to kill it? sunlight causes outbreak, meaning it gets it outta there, right?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Herpes virus: Herpes , like all viruses, live inside the cell, and while there are impervious to Acyclovir. When activated, the virus is in the bloodstream and can affect nerves, which causes pain. When the virus is just beginning to multiply, the sensation on the affected area can provide a signal to start the antiviral medication (Acyclovir or Valtrex) then, which generally reduces the time of painful ulcer
