Can I get genital herpes treatment online?

Yes, if you have a prior diagnosis. A licensed clinician reviews your request and can prescribe valacyclovir for episodic or daily suppressive therapy, without a video visit. A first, undiagnosed outbreak should be evaluated more thoroughly.

Does suppressive therapy reduce transmission?

Daily suppressive valacyclovir has been shown to reduce the risk of passing genital herpes to a partner, but it does not eliminate that risk. Safer-sex practices remain important.

Episodic or daily suppressive therapy?

Episodic therapy treats outbreaks when they occur. Daily suppressive therapy is taken every day to reduce how often outbreaks happen and to lower transmission risk. The right choice depends on how frequent and bothersome your outbreaks are.

How much does it cost?

A flat $50 clinician-review fee that includes the prescription plus two refills, with no subscription. You fill the generic at your own pharmacy, and we do not mark it up.

Genital Herpes Treatment Online: Valacyclovir

Two ways to treat genital herpes

Valacyclovir does not cure herpes, but it is effective at managing it. There are two common approaches:

Episodic therapy. You take valacyclovir when an outbreak begins to shorten it. This suits people with infrequent outbreaks.
Suppressive therapy. A lower daily dose taken continuously to reduce how often outbreaks occur. It has also been shown to reduce, though not eliminate, the risk of passing herpes to a partner.

Which approach fits you depends on how often you have outbreaks and how much they affect you. The reviewing clinician will help you decide.

Best for a prior diagnosisThis service is intended for people already diagnosed with genital herpes. A first, undiagnosed outbreak should be evaluated more thoroughly, sometimes with testing, so the clinician may recommend an in-person visit instead. If you have severe symptoms or trouble urinating, seek care in person.
