Genital herpes has not recurred for a year, the chance of recurrence is very small, but can not be completely ruled out after a year and then recur.
Genital herpes is a herpes simplex virus type 2 infection that can be transmitted sexually, and is currently treated with acyclic guanosine antiviral drugs, such as vasiclovir and valacyclovir. Recurrent cases can also be treated with immunomodulatory drugs such as transfer factors or thymidine, but no drug can completely eradicate the herpes simplex virus, so there is a possibility of recurrence.
In most cases, herpes simplex virus is more active in the first 1~2 years of infection, and the disease is prone to recurrence. In the later years, when the virus becomes less active, the chance of recurrence is smaller, and if there is no recurrence for a year, the chance of recurrence is very small, but we can not completely rule out the case of recurrence after a year.
The drugs mentioned above need to be used under the guidance of a doctor, and the appearance of genital herpes should be timely to the hospital dermatology department, so as not to delay the condition.
