Why is there very little research being done to find a cure for herpes?
When I’m in the store I can see people taking money up for Cancer, like the pink ribbons, Aids and other diseases but none for herpes. I research on the internet but there’s nothing I thank is real. The Doctor’s are quick to tell you there’s no cure you have it for life and send you on your way.
To Prairie Girl: It is uneducated, ignorant, judgmental people like yourself who contribute to the mass ignorance about this disease. No not everyone who gets herpes is b/c of something they did. My sister caught this from her husband who was cheating on her. Did she deserve this for having sex with her husband?? And children may get it from their mothers. And what about a rape victim? And it ISN’T prevented by condoms, it can still be spread, and it most definitley has nothing to do with multiple partners. It only takes one time. You can even get it thru oral sex. You are a very mean spirited person who should think twice before opening your mouth and showing the world your stupidity.

Money isn’t put into research for Herpes because it isn’t deadly and it can be prevented by not having multiple partners or by using protection.
If a person gets Herpes it’s their own fault.

I agree with peoples’ comments about it not being deadly and the health industry making money off the prescriptions.
However, I need to disagree with the person who says it’s the infected’s fault. Condoms should be used all the time but they do not prevent all STD’s. Herpes can be spread by contact other than just intercourse. And a lot of people who have it either don’t know, or lie about it to their partner. Same goes for other things such as HPV.
Also, it’s a virus and there aren’t cures for any other viruses.
