Emily Carter , MD, Infectious Disease Specialist

Dr. Emily Carter is an infectious disease specialist based in New York City with a dedicated focus on herpes simplex virus and modern Anti-Herpes medications. For more than 10 years, she has helped patients manage recurrent outbreaks, understand their diagnosis, and select treatment options that fit their health status and daily routine.

In her clinical work, Dr. Carter carefully reviews each patient’s symptoms, outbreak history, and current medications before recommending antiviral therapy. She explains the difference between episodic and suppressive treatment, discusses possible side effects, and helps patients decide when long-term therapy may be appropriate.

Patients often note Dr. Carter’s calm, structured style: she gives clear instructions for what to do during an outbreak, how to monitor triggers, and when to return for follow-up. She also places strong emphasis on prevention—discussing safer-sex practices, partner communication, and strategies to reduce transmission risk.

By combining current clinical guidelines with a practical, patient-centered approach, Dr. Carter aims to make herpes care more predictable, less stressful, and easier to integrate into everyday life.
