Genital herpes
I have been diagnosed with Genital herpes on the head of my penis but HIV test was negative. I have these sores breakouts reoccurring frequently, like every 10th-12th day, I was being given acivir 400 and acivir ointment. But doctor later told to stop it after 10 days course in the first time. But it reoccur again and I could not resist popping in Acivir 400 and applying acivir. Is this safe to consume or I should take it course wise? Any other best medication for it to reduce sores breakout duration? Any precautions?
