7 Clinical Progression of Herpes Lesions Helen was diagnosed with her first outbreak of genital HSV-2. She had multiple large bilateral vulvar ulcers which are at the early healing stage after 3 days Is it too late for me to start treatment for herpes? Early Redness/ Swelling Thin-Walled Fluid- Filled Vesicles and Pustules Early Healing of Vesicles, Erosions, or Ulcers Crusting Scabbing Healed Skin Genital Herpes Treatment 1st Clinical Recurrent Genital Herpes: Episode: Episodic Suppressive (mg for 7-10 days) (mg days) (mg, daily) Acyclovir 400 TID 400 TID x 5 d 400 BID 250 5x/day 800 BID x 5 d 800 TID x 2 d Famciclovir 250 TID 125 BID x 5 d 250 BID* 1000 BID x 1 d 500 mg PO x 1, then 250mg BID x 2 days Valacyclovir 1000 BID 500 BID x 3 d 500 QD 1000 QD x 5 d 1000 QD * Somewhat less effective for suppression of shedding CDC 2010 STD Treatment Guidelines Helen s back I already ran out of the prescription, help! She starts valacyclovir and has taken it for 7 days but she s still not completely healed There is no evidence of cellulitis 7

8 Primary Genital Herpes Incubation period ~ 4 days (2-14 day range) Systemic symptoms in up to 80% Fever, headache, malaise, myalgia Local symptoms pain, itching, dysuria, discharge, inguinal adenopathy Multiple painful lesions develop bilaterally New lesions may appear for up to 10 days, with mean duration of lesions 18 days. Treatment should continue if healing is incomplete after the first course of antivirals ALL first episodes of HSV should be treated Should I go on suppressive therapy? Sylvia was diagnosed with HSV-2 last year. She isn t sexually active right now (has sex with men) and has had 3 outbreaks in the past year, which she treated with episodic acyclovir. Episodic vs Suppressive Therapy Episodic therapy Decreases healing time by 2 days Decreases pain by 1 day Decreases viral shedding by 2 days Suppressive therapy Decreases frequency of recurrences by 70-80% Decreases severity of recurrences Decreases subclinical viral shedding Decreases transmission Management of Patients Consider daily suppressive therapy for: Are bothered by their outbreaks, regardless of their relationship status Are sexually active with an uninfected partner* Are newly diagnosed and concerned about transmitting genital herpes to their partner* Consider episodic therapy for patients who: Are not sexually active and not concerned about their outbreaks Are sexually active with a partner who also has genital herpes * Studied in immunocompetent heterosexual adults 8

She has been outbreak free on suppressive acyclovir therapy which she has taken continuously for a year. How long can I stay on supression? 9

10 Long-term suppressive therapy Continuous suppresive therapy appears safe Safety data for up to 6 years with continuous acyclovir, 1 year for valacyclovir and famciclovir Check-in once a year to discuss the need to continue.
