Is there a way to prevent herpes simplex from showing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: With time, outbreaks generally become less frequent and less lengthy. Anti-herpes meds have been shown to further reduce the frequency and severity of outbreaks. Valtrex (valacyclovir) additionally has been shown to reduce the risk of transmission to an unaffected partner. Improving your overall health will keep your immune system in top shape- that can help reduce the outbreaks as well.
