A licensed doctor reviews your history by video and, when appropriate, prescribes antiviral medication such as acyclovir, valacyclovir, or famciclovir. Herpes is manageable but not curable. A licensed doctor reviews your intake before the visit and explains the safest next step.
- Private online genital herpes assessment with a licensed doctor
- Antiviral prescriptions can be sent to Shoppers Drug Mart, Rexall, Walmart, or any Brantford pharmacy

Clinical content is reviewed for accuracy and scope. TelePlus Care appointments proceed only when clinically appropriate after a real assessment, and the doctor will explain the next step if virtual care is not the right fit.
Understanding Genital Herpes for Brantford Patients
Genital herpes is a common infection caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV-1 or HSV-2). Many people carry the virus without realizing it, and outbreaks can be mild or easily mistaken for other conditions. The virus stays in the body for life, but antiviral medication can shorten outbreaks and reduce the chance of passing it to a partner. Consider a virtual visit if you notice any of the following:
- Painful blisters, sores, or ulcers around the genitals, buttocks, or thighs
- Tingling, itching, or burning before sores appear
- Pain or stinging during urination near a sore
- Flu-like symptoms such as aches or swollen glands during a first outbreak
- Recurring outbreaks in the same area over time
Private Virtual Herpes Care for Brantford
Visiting a Brantford walk-in clinic or the Brantford General Hospital emergency department for an outbreak can mean long waits and little privacy. Our virtual service connects you with a licensed doctor from the comfort of home. The doctor reviews your symptoms and history and discusses whether episodic treatment during outbreaks or daily suppressive therapy for frequent outbreaks is the better fit. If the diagnosis is uncertain, the doctor may order a swab (PCR) or blood test (serology) with a requisition sent to a LifeLabs or Dynacare collection site near you.

Managing Outbreaks and Lowering Transmission Risk

- Start antivirals early when you feel an outbreak beginning
