Genital herpes: Once someone has genital herpes, recurrent oubreaks can occur anywhere from upper thighs to waist. It doesn't matter. The initial infection can be either genital or anal -- it doesn't matter. Speak with your doctor about a prescription of valacyclovir or acyclovir to reduce both the frequency of outbreaks and chance of transmission to sex partner(s). Good luck!
