Are We Close To A Herpes Cure

Herpes has been around since at least since the time of the ancient Greeks. Herpes is incurable and finding a cure for herpes is made more difficult due to the fact that it hides in the nerve endings between outbreaks. It is for this reason that the immune system cannot destroy the herpes virus as it does with other viruses.

Herpes manifests in an outbreak of tiny blisters manily around the genital area which later turn into open lesions. After an attack the herpes virus backtracks to the nerve endings and hides, making it difficult to treat or to find a cure.

Herpes Cure Studies

Currently many people are working hard to try to find a cure for herpes. As of now the only form of medication is that which helps suppress the herpes outbreaks and topical treatments to kill the virus once it does make an appearance.

Many people wonder if the medical industry is actually making any progress to find a herpes cure. In reality this virus is going to be very hard to cure, because it is a virus. Typically we have to rely on our bodies to kill these viruses. So when talking about herpes, when our bodies go to fight the infection, the virus retreats back into the nerve endings and lies dormant. There the body cant attack it , and the only time that it reappears is when another herpes outbreak happens.

Herpes Cure Solutions

Prescription drugs is currently the only solution that we have for herpes. Antiviral medication can help suppress the herpes outbreaks (but is not a herpes cure) and (sometimes) keeps the condition dormant. However exposure to lots of stress can still cause a herpes outbreak. As of now there are no approved herpes vaccinations; however scientists are testing vaccinations on willing participants.

Being careful cannot cure herpes, but...

Always use protection with new partners or if you know or suspect your partner may be infected with herpes. This alone will help enormously in protecting you from getting infected with the herpes virus.

Sexual activity of an oral nature will also spread the herpes virus. By using a condom you will prevent the transmission of herpes in this manner. It is simple to do and whilst it is not a herpes cure, it will almost certainly prevent you from contracting or spreading the herpes virus

Abstinence is the only way to not get infected from any form of sexual intercourse.
