Yes: You can take the penicillin for the presumed bacterial infection, and the anti-viral Valtrex (valacyclovir) will cover the genital herpes infection.

Yes: It is fairly common to have herspes outbreak during times of stress, infection with another bug being a very common form of such stress. It is safe to take penicillin and Valtrex (valacyclovir) together.
