No. Abreva is indicated only for the treatment of cold sores caused by Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1. (Genital herpes is most commonly caused by Herpes Simplex Virus Type 2)

Antiviral medication can relieve pain and discomfort during an outbreak by healing the sores more quickly. Medicines used to treat herpes include acyclovir, famciclovir, and valacyclovir.
