Can genital herpes be treated online in Europe? Genital herpes treatment online explained under EU sexual health and telemedicine standards.

Genital herpes is a sexually transmitted infection caused by herpes simplex virus (HSV-1 or HSV-2). It may cause painful blisters, ulcers, itching, or flu-like symptoms during initial outbreaks, with possible recurrences over time. This episode explains how genital herpes is assessed remotely and when antiviral treatment may be appropriate.

You will learn:

• Typical symptoms of first-episode and recurrent genital herpes

• How a doctor evaluates lesion appearance, recurrence pattern, and exposure history

• When antiviral medication (e.g. aciclovir or valaciclovir) may be considered

• The difference between episodic and suppressive therapy

• When laboratory testing may be recommended

• When urgent in-person evaluation is required (severe pain, urinary retention, widespread lesions, immune compromise, pregnancy-related concerns)

All genital herpes treatment requests through Mobi Doctor require individual medical evaluation and compliance with EU regulatory standards. Not all genital lesions are suitable for remote diagnosis.

This episode is educational and does not replace urgent or specialist sexual health care.
