A 28-year-old male who is about to be married has been diagnosed with genital herpes. To avoid complications from the disease and to avoid transmitting the disease to his spouse, his doctor should recommend all of these EXCEPT .

What the doctor should recommend is: washing hands frequently, especially after touching a lesion , taking acyclovir for a 6- to 12-month period , and always wearing a condom when having sexual intercourse. What he shouldn't recommend is taking penicillin daily for the next year.

Explanation:

Genital Herpes is a viral disease that is frequently transmitted through sexual intercourse and causes infected sores, ulcers and cuts.

While the treatment for herpes can reduce the symptoms, the virus remains latent in the body and will most likely re-appear to cause the same symptoms.

Even when inactive, the virus can be transmitted, so the only way to prevent the spread of herpes is by using condoms or dental dams when engaging in sexual relationships.

To treat herpes, the best option is acyclovir -an antiviral-.

Penicillin WOULD NOT WORK because it is an antibiotic and thus it only kills bacteria (not viruses).
