is not a 100% guarantee, but does greatly reduce the
risks of contagion.

you think that you might have herpes, stop having sex
until you have been tested.

you do have herpes, you should not have sex when blisters
and sores are present.

Genital Herpes! We spent nearly two years developing

Pharmacists and Universities. It is made in a
special laboratory, exclusively for SkinChoice.

long prized by herpes sufferers for its effectiveness,
this combination of compounds provides IMMEDIATE
relief. If applied to the affected area at the
first signs of an outbreak, it may help significantly
reduce the duration of suffering (normally 1-3
weeks) and if applied at the first sign, may help
stave off the outbreak completely!

like this, without prescription, containing the
isolated compounds from Prunella Vulgaris. You
won't find this product, or anything nearly as
good, anywhere else on the planet! Safe, effective

Back to List of Questions
- Treatment
may be an oral, topical, or intravenous medication.
- Today
the most commonly prescribed medication is acyclovir. This
medication only eases the symptoms of herpes and does not
get rid of the actual virus, you'll need to see a doctor
to get a prescription for this.
- Analgesics
(painkillers) may help with the pain.
- Apply
Herpasil by SkinChoice the main active ingredient was
shown to stop intracellular infections by up to 100% (may
help stop the blisters from appearing and /or shorten the
outbreak) it has been shown to be more effective than prescription
medications, requires no doctor visits, and is completely
confidential.)
- Unfortunately,
it is not curable. Herpes does not go away. The virus will
remain in your body forever. However, it is treatable.
- There
is a risk of passing herpes to the baby during a vaginal
delivery. You should consult your doctor to discuss delivery
options
- The
herpes virus may play a role in development of cervical
cancer. Women should get regular cervical smear
test (Pap Smear) every 1-2 years.
