Zovirax is for herpes sores, not genital warts.

Genital warts is caused by HPV, not HSV.

If you have a genital wart, Zovirax won't help it.

That’s what I thought but my Doctor has insisted this is first what is prescribed here ?
I don't know what to tell you. It's not for HPV.

It's not even that effective for herpes. I'd find another doctor, or show him the link.
