FAQs
Herpes is a common viral infection caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV-1 or HSV-2). It can cause occasional outbreaks of small blisters or irritation around the mouth or genitals. Many people carry the virus, and symptoms can vary widely from person to person.
Not online. First-time herpes symptoms need in-person assessment and testing to confirm the diagnosis and rule out other conditions. If this is new for you, please see a GP or urgent care clinic as soon as possible, early treatment can be helpful.
The initial online consultation is $19. Prices for treatment plans vary depending on the prescribed medication and how often you need refills. As your Candor GP will tailor your treatment to your individual needs, we’re unable to confirm exact pricing until your consultation is complete.
As a general guide, outbreak treatment typically starts from around $49, while ongoing preventive therapies may start from approximately $29 per month. Your doctor will discuss options with you during your appointment.
Both cold sores and herpes are caused by the Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV). There are two types of HSV - HSV1 and HSV2. Cold sores are usually caused by HSV1 and are mostly spread by kissing. Genital herpes is caused by both HSV1 and HSV2 and are mostly spread by sexual activity. At Candor, we can help you manage both.
You must be at least 18 years old and an Australian resident to use Candor.
