Herpes Treatment - First Outbreak

Take control from the start. A first outbreak can feel overwhelming, but it doesn't have to. Complete a short consult, and if medically appropriate, your provider will prescribe same-day treatment or order a lab test.

From there, your provider can talk through options for staying ahead of future outbreaks, and you can message anytime with questions along the way.

FAQ

What is Herpes, and what’s the difference between HSV-1 and HSV-2?

Herpes is a common, lifelong viral infection spread through skin-to-skin contact. It’s far more common than most people realize, and having it doesn’t change who you are or your ability to have a healthy relationship or sex life.

  • HSV-1: traditionally oral herpes (cold sores), but can also present as genital herpes
  • HSV-2: traditionally genital herpes, and recurs more often than HSV-1
Why is a first outbreak treated differently?

A first outbreak tends to be more intense and is treated with a longer course to help your body get the virus under control quickly.

How soon will symptoms improve?

Most people notice improvement within the first few days of starting treatment, with continued improvement over the full course.

Is a positive test required for treatment?

No, our providers will review your information and discuss your symptoms with you. Herpes testing is an antibody test, and many patients experiencing their first outbreak won’t test positive yet. Because of this, most physicians, in-person or through telemedicine, don’t require a positive test before starting treatment. Your provider may still recommend testing to confirm your diagnosis.

Do I need insurance?

No, insurance is never needed to get care from Scriptable. The listed treatment price is billed directly at checkout, so pricing stays consistent whether or not you have insurance.

What’s included in my price?

Your price includes your consult and ongoing access to your provider for unlimited messaging and follow-up care.

If prescribed, your medication or lab testing will be billed separately by your chosen pharmacy or lab.
