 Some individuals with HIV (especially those with more advanced disease or AIDS) can have more severe or more frequent herpes flairs. The outbreaks are not caused by HIV, per se, but rather from any one of the many triggers of herpes, like stress and trauma. Herpes cannot be cured, but can be effectively treated with early medical intervention with one of a number of anti-herpes antivirals (acyclovir, famciclovir or valacyclovir). BY | ||||||||
