Herpes is a lifetime diseases, even we live in modern technology, scientists, modern medicine, still unable to find out proper cure methods. There are three antiviral medications: aciclovir, famciclovir, valaciclovir. They work to control outbreaks, and they work to reduce the risk of transmission. Having herpes is not the end of the world. I found my boyfriend and many good friends on MeetHerpes.com, a dating site for people living with herpes. Good luck to you all.
