[|Human|] Hi! I am Rakib, 41 years old, 05 feet 05 inches height and 69 kg weight have been suffering from recurrent episode of both oral and genital herpes simplex for the last two years. My pathological report is HSV IgG (Type 1 & 2 ) positive. I am taking Acyclovir-400mg twice a day. My query : is it perfect medication for me. How long I need to continue for getting permanent remedy. Is there any permanent remedy in alopathy.
[|AI|]  HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor Unfortunately the herpes infection cannot be cured at this time. Once a person has been infected with herpes 1 and/or 2, then recurrent infections can occur because these viruses live in the system. If your immune system is suppressed (not working well) for some reasons then the infections would occur more commonly e.g. if you have diabetes, on steroids or other meds that affect the immune system, You can check to see if there are any reasons that may be affecting your immunity and causing the frequent infections. Using the antiviral medication e.g. acyclovir would help to reduce the attacks. I hope this helps
