 Aciclovir - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Aciclovir can also be given topically for treatment of herpes infections of mucous membrane and skin, such as genital herpes or recurrent herpes labialis (cold sore).
The resistance towards aciclovir evolves rather rapidly, although this has not much hindered its clinical use.
It does not eradicate latent herpes, and does not work very well against genital herpes in women.

 WHO/OMS: 6. HSV2 control measures for developing countries
Aciclovir is an antiviral drug, which has been the standard treatment for genital herpes for the past decade in developed countries.
In a study of long-term suppressive aciclovir therapy, HSV2 isolates from patients who had received up to six years of therapy showed no evidence of resistance to aciclovir [Baker, 1994].
A further consideration is that the practicalities of prophylactic therapy make it unlikely to be feasible on a large scale in developing countries.

However, these approaches may facilitate the selection of thymidine kinase negative strains of VZV, and may delay rather than abrogate viral infection if restimulation of the immune system is required for restoration of immunity.
If presentation of viral antigens is necessary for re-stimulation of memory responses it may be possible to identify a group in whom vaccination approaches could be targeted prior to cessation of aciclovir.
Emergence of viral resistance does not appear to be a clinical problem.

 Bone Marrow Transplantation - Abstract of article: The effect of low-dose aciclovir on reactivation of varicella zoster ...
This study does not support the idea that use of such low-dose aciclovir regimens reduces the zoster incidence by permitting subclinical reactivation during prophylaxis, and therefore the re-establishment of protective anti-viral immunity.
This supports previous findings that aciclovir prophylaxis prevents early VZV reactivation, although the long-term incidence is not affected as infection occurs once prophylaxis is discontinued.
Zoster developed in 26 of these, giving a cumulative incidence of infection at 1 year after stopping aciclovir of 39% and at 3 years 44%.
