If you think you may have genital herpes, you need to see your GP, sexual health clinic or other health care provider. Sexual health clinics provide a specialist, confidential, free or low-cost service.
Visit our sister website, Just the Facts about Sexual Health and STIs, which hosts a comprehensive database of sexual health clinics and sexual health providers in New Zealand.
Some pharmacies can now prescribe valaciclovir without patients having to attend a medical centre. This means people with known/recurrent herpes can have medication on hand and can start treatment at the first hint of symptoms. It is not designed to be a diagnosis and assessment service or for treatment for an acute episode of herpes.
Patients should call ahead to check when the credentialled pharmacist is rostered to work or arrange a time.
