General Health

The herpes virus has been aggravating the world since time immemorial. It is indeed a plague as it has no known herpes cure. Becuase the virus retreats and hides in the nerves between outbreaks (it then lies dormant), your body has a very hard time dealing with it.

Outbreaks of herpes are painful sores that can be found on the genitals or around the pubic areas. When the outbreaks are finished the virus lies dormant in the nerves, until the immune system weakens, causing another outbreak. This is why it is not easy to find a cure for herpes, it does not live in the cells it hides in the nerves when dormant.

A Cure for herpes Studies

We know there is no herpes cure available, there are medications that can suppress the herpes virus and also natural creams and lotions that will kill the virus on contact

Many people wonder if scientists are making any headway when trying to find a cure for herpes. 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. But with herpes, when our bodies go to fight the infection, the virus retreats back into the nerve endings and lies dormant. It is safe there from attacks by the immune system , and the only time that herpes is made known again is when another herpes outbreak occurs.

Herpes Cure Drugs

Although there is no herpes cure, the herpes outbreaks can be suppressed with some of the anti-viral mediactions available. There is also not a vaccine that can effect a cure for the herpes virus.

Being careful cannot cure herpes, nevertheless...

Don't have unprotected sex with new partners or if you know or suspect your partner may be infected with herpes. This alone will help enormously in preventing you from getting infected with the herpes virus.

Sexual activity of an oral nature will also transmit the herpes virus. Using protection will prevent the spread of herpes in this manner. Using protection is easy and cheap and whilst it is not a herpes cure, it will at least prevent you from contracting or spreading the herpes virus

Refraining from having any intercourse with others is the only sure way to avoid the spread of herpes.
