Herpes: Herpes Outbreaks
built 626 days ago
You should use condoms during sex between outbreaks because there is always a chance that herpes can be transmitted at any time by someone who is infected. While condoms help they are no guarantee. You should see the Condom Page for more information.
Case reports in the scientific literature suggest that acupuncture may help reduce the length of time of a herpes outbreak and decrease your chances for recurrent lesions. Additional research would be helpful.

Painful, raw herpes outbreaks can be very sensitive. Soaking in a lukewarm, salty bath can provide some relief while helping keep the affected area clean. Half a cup of household salt in a regular-sized bathtub makes the right concentration to provide relief.
