Genital herpes treatments?

im a minor and i think that i am having my first outbreak of genital herpes. i cant tell my parents so i cant go to our family doctor. i am not sure if the teen clinic provides medication for genital herpes to teens, does anyone know? is there any other way i can get medication without going to my normal doctor?

Find the closest Planned Parenthood. They provide services and more importantly education to minors re STD, sex and PREVENTION!

Sex is a big deal.. and can be very dangerous. Its important that you seek not only medical attention, but education as well.

Hope this helps! :)

I would think that any teen clinic would help you out. That's what they are there for. You can also try and call Planned Parenthood and ask their advice. They might also have options for you. Just look in the phone book and give a call...they are there to help you.

In the meantime, there's not really much you can do but wait it out. You can try some Witch Hazel or Tucks pads to soothe the burn....just dab it on the lesions. Keep the area dry and whatever you do, try NOT to itch the spot. It will be difficult, but don't itch. Keep you hands away and wash them after using the bathroom. If you have trouble urinating from the painof the urine running over the lesions, try urinating in the shower. I know its gross, but it helps.

Good luck hon.~

I am almost positive these clinics will take care of you! That is what they are there for! They want to prevent future spreading etc. Go see them. Just remember HSV is forever and will always carry the risk of spreading whether you have symptoms or not. You're not the only one with it though so be honest with partners, you might be surprised!
