How close are scientists to creating a cure for herpes, figuratively speaking will we be seeing a break through in 10, 20, as well as 3 decades?
Well, there is great news and bad news around the herpes front. The good news: Researchers have made serious strides and today better comprehend the mechanism behind herpes outbreaks. The bad news: There is hardly any funding for that research.
After receiving your question we reached out to a leading herpes expert, Bryan Cullen, the director in the Center for Virology at Duke University. Cullen is hopeful that a remedy for herpes could come within 10 years, once funding hurdles are crossed.
Nearly 1 in 5 people over age 12 in the U.S. is impacted by herpes. It is the result of a virus - either the herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) or the herpes virus type 2 (HSV-2). Both strains may cause herpes, but HSV-1 usually infects the mouth and produces fever blisters.
