- Genital herpes is one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases, While genital herpes can present with self limiting genital lesions. Many such persons have mild or unrecognized infections but shed virus intermittently in the genital tract. It is incurable and persists during the lifetime of the host, often in latent form. Treatment can be expected to reduce the formation of new lesions, the duration of pain, the time required for healing and antiviral shedding. However, antiviral agents do not cure Human simplex virus infections, but rather offer clinical benefits to the majority of symptomatic patients and is the mainstay of management. Our review is to summarize the treatment and management of genital herpes, which is to help patients deal with the infection and be prevented from sexual and perinatal transmission.
