Both are caused by the herpes simplex virus. Oral herpes (often HSV-1) typically causes cold sores around the mouth, while genital herpes (often HSV-2, but also HSV-1) causes sores in the genital area. Treatment is similar.

Herpes is treated with antiviral medications such as valacyclovir, acyclovir, or famciclovir. These can be taken episodically to treat outbreaks or daily as suppressive therapy to reduce how often outbreaks occur.

Suppressive therapy means taking a daily antiviral to reduce the frequency and severity of outbreaks and to lower the risk of transmitting the virus to partners. It is often recommended for frequent or bothersome recurrences.

There is no cure that removes the virus from the body, but antiviral treatment is highly effective at controlling symptoms, shortening outbreaks, and reducing transmission. Many people have infrequent or very mild recurrences with treatment.
