Detailed Answer:
Hi

Greetings from Dr.Divakara. P
Thanks for posting your query.

Well for Herpes you need to take Anti viral tablets like Acyclovir and Anti viral gel .

Since these are prescription only medication you need to get a valid prescription from a doctor. Along with this avoid sexual contact with your partner.

Also there is no medicine that can cure or prevent Herpes for lifetime.

Hope this information was useful to you.
Any clarification feel free to ask.
