Components of Herpes Simplex Virus Care
✔ Confidential Consultation & Symptom Review – A private discussion about your specific symptoms, their frequency, location, and any potential triggers, along with a detailed sexual and medical history.
✔ Physical Examination – Careful examination of any active lesions or areas of concern to assess their appearance and distribution.
✔ Laboratory Testing – * Viral Culture or PCR Swab: Taking a sample from an active sore to identify the virus. PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) is highly sensitive for detecting HSV DNA. * Blood Test (Antibody Test): Detects HSV antibodies in your blood, indicating past exposure to the virus. This can differentiate between HSV-1 and HSV-2 and confirm a diagnosis even if no active lesions are present.
✔ Antiviral Therapy for Outbreaks – Prescription of oral antiviral medications (e.g., Acyclovir, Valacyclovir, Famciclovir) to shorten the duration and severity of acute outbreaks when taken at the first sign of symptoms.
✔ Suppressive Therapy for Recurrent Outbreaks – For individuals with frequent or severe outbreaks, daily antiviral medication can significantly reduce the number of recurrences and may help reduce transmission risk.
✔ Pain and Symptom Management – Advice on over-the-counter pain relievers, topical creams, and comfort measures to alleviate discomfort during an outbreak.
✔ Transmission Prevention Counseling – Comprehensive guidance on how to reduce the risk of transmitting HSV to sexual partners, including avoiding sexual activity during outbreaks, consistent condom use, and the potential benefit of suppressive therapy.
✔ Partner Communication Support – Guidance and resources for discussing HSV with sexual partners.
✔ Follow-up & Education – Ongoing education about living with HSV, managing triggers, and optimizing long-term health.
