When will we see a herpes cure?As a feature of CNNhealth.com, our team of expert doctors will answer readers' questions. Here's a question for Dr. Gupta. From Lloyd Bartley, Bowling Green, Kentucky “How close are scientists to developing a cure for herpes, figuratively speaking will we be seeing a break through in 10, 20, or even 30 years?” Answer: Well, Lloyd, there is good news and bad news on the herpes front. The good news: Researchers have made serious strides and now better understand the mechanism behind herpes outbreaks. The bad news: There is very little funding for that research. After receiving your question we reached out to a leading herpes expert, Bryan Cullen, the director at the Center for Virology at Duke University. Cullen is hopeful that a cure for herpes could come within 10 years, once funding hurdles are crossed. Nearly one in five people over age 12 in the U.S. is affected by herpes. It is caused by a virus - either the herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) or the herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2). Both strains can cause genital herpes, but HSV-1 usually infects the mouth and produces cold sores. Despite funding challenges, Cullen and his team are inching closer to a cure. They conducted a study recently that identified the pathway herpes takes as it infects. They now know how herpes embeds itself into the cells and how it eludes treatment. Now that they have honed in on the physiology of the disease - and its triggers - researchers believe they are steps closer to creating drugs that could cure herpes. While we wait for a cure, there are drugs out there that can at least suppress herpes. Three antiviral drugs: acyclovir, valacyclovir, and famciclovir are commonly recommended to quell outbreaks. A physician might recommend taking these drugs when an outbreak occurs to quiet symptoms; or taking them continuously to reduce the likelihood of an outbreak. And of course the best way to avoid spreading herpes is to abstain from sex, but if you are sexually active, engage in safe-sex practices such as using condoms.

I GOT RID OF HERPES WITHIN 12 DAYS
Am from the United state. I caught genital herpes from my ex boyfriend who never had any symptoms of herpes .
I had it for 4 years and it has literally affected my life before I got cured.
People think herpes is really a minor skin irritation, herpes has long term effects on health.
The stigma attached to this virus by ignorant people is ridiculous.
Most people have herpes in one form or another but they might not be aware of it.
I would like to advise people on how I got rid of my herpes by using Dr.Ogba Kosu medicine.
I saw a comment posted by a woman from Ireland on the internet that she got rid of her herpes with the help of Dr.Ogba Kosu
and I was so happy when I saw that post. I quickly contacted the doctor regarding the cure.
He shipped it to me and i was instructed on how to use it which is twice a day
( morning and at night before going to bed).After 12 days, i found out that the herpes was no more and this was also
confirmed by my doctor. Dr. Ogba also cure HIV,stroke,ulcer,depression,autism,cancer,diabetes etc.Contact Dr. Ogba Kosu on email: drogbakosu01@gmail.com
