A member asked:
I started taking valtrex (valacyclovir) while waiting for test results & it helped, does the fact that it worked confirm that i have herpes?

Most likely: Not knowing your symptoms nor location of your rash, difficult to say what is happening with your body. Please check back with your physician ASAP. Take care
