Is online genital herpes treatment legal in Michigan?
Yes. Michigan law allows licensed clinicians to provide care and prescribe non-controlled medications through telehealth — including establishing a provider-patient relationship online — under the Michigan Public Health Code (MCL 333.16284, PA 359 of 2016). Antiviral medications for herpes (valacyclovir, acyclovir, and famciclovir) are non-controlled, so a Michigan-licensed clinician can review your symptoms and prescribe them online. Controlled substances require an in-person evaluation and are not prescribed this way.
