Which of the following is the MOST accurate statement regarding the treatment of herpes? Adequate rest, relaxation, and fluid intake can eliminate the virus over time. For most patients, herpes can be cured with either doxycycline by mouth for several days, or one dose of azithromycin.

The herpes vaccine can prevent reinfection, thus reducing the severity of symptoms and frequency of outbreaks.
