There is no cure for infections caused by Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 (HSV-1) or Type 2 (HSV-2). HSV-1 typically causes oral cold sores, while HSV-2 primarily infects the genital region.
However, effective treatments are available that help shorten outbreaks, speed healing, and lower the risk of transmission to others. Antiviral medications are commonly used to manage symptoms.
If you suspect a herpes infection, consult a healthcare provider for diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
