- Part C inclusion criteria: 1. Immunocompromised (due to conditions including HIV infection, hematopoietic cell or solid organ transplantation, and chronic glucocorticoid use) men and women of any ethnic group aged >16 years.2. ACV-R mucocutaneous HSV infection based on clinical failure requiring switch to foscarnet treatment or positive genotypic/phenotypic ACV resistance testing for current lesion. 3. Lesions accessible for visual inspection to allow assessment of lesion healing including visualization by endoscopy or pharyngoscopy. 4. Willingness to abstain from the application of lotions and/or creams to the area with HSV lesions. Wet/dry saline dressings or bandages at lesion site are allowed.5. Willing to use highly effective birth control:Male subjects must be surgically sterile or must agree to use an adequate method of contraception during sexual intercourse with women of childbearing potential to make sure the fathering of a child will be ruled out during treatment and for at least 1 complete month after the final dose of trial medication. Female subjects of non-childbearing potential must be either surgically sterile or postmenopausal. Female subjects of childbearing potential must use an adequate method of contraception. An adequate method of contraception is defined as a highly effective method of contraception plus use of a condom during participation in this trial and for at least 1 complete month after the final dose of trial medication. 6. Subject, and/or their legally authorized representative, must be willing and able to understand the Informed Consent Form.7. Negative serum ß-HCG test for women of childbearing potential at Screening and a negative urine pregnancy test at Day 1. 8. Subject must give written informed consent. For subjects, who are unable to provide informed consent for whatever reason, written consent must be obtained from the legal representative.
- Part D inclusion criteria: All inclusion criteria as for Part C, except for inclusion criterion 2 which is replaced by:
2. ACV-R and foscarnet-R mucocutaneous HSV infection based on clinical failure or positive genotypic/phenotypic resistance testing for current lesion or documented intolerance to foscarnet requiring cessation of foscarnet treatment or precluding foscarnet treatment. For subjects coming from Part C due to clinical failure of foscarnet, clinical failure is defined as discontinuation and/or replacement of foscarnet after at least 7 days of treatment due to worsening of lesion(s) and/or appearance of new lesion(s). Manifestations of foscarnet intolerance may include, renal function impairment, seizures, genital irritation and/or ulcerations, extremity paresthesia, nausea, granulocytopenia, anemia, leukopenia,thrombopenia, hypokalemia, hypocalcemia, hypomagnesemia, diabetes insipidus, injection site reactions, psychiatric disorders, including but not limited to anxiety and aggression. Subjects entering Part D after cessation of foscarnet treatment in Part C will require a washout period of at least 3 days prior to starting pritelivir.
-Part E inclusion criteria: All inclusion criteria as for Part C, except for inclusion criterion 2 which is replaced by:
2. Recurrent mucocutaneous HSV infection considered ACV-S.

Part C exclusion criteria_1. Known resistance/intolerance to pritelivir and/or foscarnet or any of the excipients. 2. Previous treatment in PRIOH-1 3. Need to use warfarin, phenytoin, paclitaxel. 4. Baseline safety laboratory abnormalities:o ANC <1000 cells/mm3;o platelet count <25,000 cells/mm3;o hemoglobin <8.0 g/dL;o AST or ALT >5 x ULN;o bilirubin >2.5 x ULN.5. History or current evidence of gastrointestinal malabsorption which, in the opinion of the Investigator, may affect the extent of absorption of pritelivir. 6. Severe renal insufficiency (eGFR =29). 7. History or current evidence of significant cardiovascular, pulmonary,hepatic, renal, gastrointestinal, hematological, endocrinological,metabolic, neurological, psychiatric, or other diseases, which, in the opinion of the Investigator, may affect the subject's safety or interfere with the trial. 8. Abnormalities in hematological, clinical chemical or any other laboratory variables at Screening measured by the central or local laboratory regarded as clinically relevant by the Investigator unless they are due to underlying disease or condition. 9. Not able to communicate meaningfully with the Investigator and site staff. 10. Any other condition which in the opinion of the Investigator would interfere with successful completion of this clinical trial. 11. Any other local condition including bacterial superinfection which in the opinion of the Investigator would interfere with the efficacy evaluation. 12. Pregnant and/or breastfeeding women. 13. Having received an investigational drug in an investigational drug trial within 7 half-lives after the last administration of this drug before initiating trial medication. Current participation in a clinical trial without receiving other investigational drugs (eg, follow-up phase of a trial, observational study) is permitted.
Part D exclusion criteria_All exclusion criteria as for Part C, except for exclusion criteria 1 and 13 which are replaced by: 1. Known intolerance to pritelivir or any of the excipients and 13. Having received an investigational drug in an investigational drug trial within 7 half-lives after the last administration of this drug before initiating trial medication, except for subjects entering Part D who have previously received foscarnet treatment in Part C of this trial. Participation in a clinical trial without receiving other investigational drugs (eg, follow-up phase of a trial, observational study) is permitted.
Part E exclusion criteria_All exclusion criteria as for Part C, except for exclusion criteria 1 and 14 which are replaced by: 1. Known intolerance to pritelivir or any of the excipients and 14. Having used (val)acyclovir within 3 days prior to starting pritelivir.
