Scientists currently working on the herpes virus have found that they are slowly inching towards a cure for herpes.
In a study published earlier this year in the Virology Journal, MSU virologist William Halford showed that mice vaccinated with a live, genetically-modified herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) showed no signs of disease 30 days after being exposed to a particularly lethal “wild-type” strain of the virus. This type of behaviour may show that a vaccine may be a possible way to get ride of the disease that currently has no cure.
However, while this breakthrough is a great move forward for the disease, the actual cure is still some time away. The currently recommended treatments for herpes are:
- Herpeset (recommended!)
- Acyclovir
- Valtrex
Of these, only Herpeset is available over the counter while the other treatments, which are antivirals require a doctor’s prescription.
Thank you for the info!
Can you please provide more details on this? It really seems like an interesting topic but not much details.
I liked Dynamiclear. It seemed to work a lot to reduce my outbreaks, although I just bought a kit. I’ll get the bigger package and hopefully get rid of this mess.
Anything else that’s new to report on the latest herpes cures?
