No, taking medication is optional when you have herpes. Patients may choose to take medication to help with the discomfort of outbreaks and shorten their duration. They may also take medication daily to reduce the number of outbreaks and the possibility of transmitting the infection to partners.
Most of us have oral herpes; about 1 in 6 have genital herpes. Other than the pain and itching, there are usually no serious complications from herpes (exception is an infant who is infected during birth).
