I think you misunderstood the doctor. There is no 'cure' for herpes. Acyclovir is very effective at suppressing the virus but it remains in the body for life. Even so, if you take acyclovir immediately you get the symptoms (it always comes back in the same area of the body) it is quite controllable.

like the previous poster said: it doesn't cure it but it makes it go away. however herpes stays with you for life.
i also got acyclovir but the doc told me to take it twice a day 800 ml.
