I'm really worried about my herpes infection. I just had an STD panel done and it showed Herpes IgM at 0.50 and IgG at 12.4, with HIV coming back negative. I keep having frequent recurrences of genital herpes and it's really stressing me out. Can you help me understand what's going on and how I can manage or cure this infection? Im willing to try anything.

For the treatment of recurrent genital herpes, you can take antiviral medications such as Valacyclovir at the first sign of symptoms. This can help to reduce the severity and duration of the outbreak. Additionally, you can also use topical antiviral creams such as Acyclovir cream to apply on the affected area. It is important to consult with your healthcare provider for proper evaluation and management of your condition.
