How is genital herpes controlled and tested?

If you have sores, a swab can be used to test if you have one of the herpes viruses. If there are no sores, a blood test can be done.

Valtrex is the best treatment currently. Most people with herpes who are on valtrex supressive therapy (taking it daily) do not experience outbreaks.

It is tested via a blood tests and a pathology exam of the liquid that is usually in the sore or blister.

There are several alternative treatments for the virus and a cure is on the horizon as several companies and universities are close to making this annoying STD history. Although research is encouraging, no medication or vaccine is likely during the next five years. The best way to fight the virus is through a healthy immune system.
