Although rare in immunocompetent individuals, clinically refractory lesions due to genital HSV are a major problem in patients with severe immunodeficiency, including late-stage HIV.

Systemic therapy with either foscarnet or cidofovir is generally preferred to treat drug-resistant herpes in those living with HIV.

There is evidence for alternating courses of treatment with aciclovir and cidofovir for subsequent recurrences as a strategy that may reduce the development of cidofovir-resistant strains.
