Is online herpes treatment legal in Illinois? Yes. Under the Illinois Medical Practice Act of 1987 (225 ILCS 60), a clinician licensed in Illinois may establish a clinician-patient relationship and prescribe non-controlled medications through telehealth. Antivirals such as valacyclovir and acyclovir are non-controlled, so an Illinois-licensed clinician can review your history and prescribe them online, with no in-person visit required.

Roughly half of new STIs occur among people ages 15–24 (Illinois Department of Public Health). An Illinois-licensed clinician can review your symptoms and prescribe antiviral treatment discreetly, with no campus-health visit and no waiting room.
