quote:

More than 3.7 billion people under the age of 50 suffer from the herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), usually after catching it in childhood, according to a the WHO study.

That is in addition to 417 million people in the 17-49 age range who have the other form of the disease, HSV-2, which causes genital herpes.

HSV-1 normally causes mouth ulcers rather than genital infection, but it is becoming an increasing cause of genital infection too, mainly in rich countries.

That is because improved hygiene in rich countries is lowering HSV-1 infection rates in childhood, leaving young people more at risk of catching it via oral sex when they become sexually active.

http://www.msn.com/en-us/health/medical/you-probably-have-herpes-the-who-says/ar-BBmxzak?ocid=ansmsnhealth11

So, apparently everyone has face herpes, but only people in wealthy countries have it on their junk, either due to hygiene or oral sex, it isn't really clear.

quote:

"We really need to accelerate the development of vaccines against herpes simplex virus, and if a vaccine designed to prevent HSV-2 infection also prevented HSV-1, it would have far reaching benefits," said Sami Gottlieb, a WHO medical officer.

Nathalie Broutet, also a WHO medical officer, said the U.S. National Institutes of Health and companies including GlaxoSmithKline Plc were involved in trials to determine whether a therapeutic or preventative vaccine was preferable.

Gottlieb said GSK had previously abandoned a vaccine trial after finding the product was not effective against HSV-2, although it did show some efficacy against HSV-1.

"That was interesting and promising and gave a proof of concept that these vaccines can be developed. There's a lot of work ongoing and we're hopeful that we'll have an HSV vaccine in the future," she said.

Several phase-1 and phase-2 trials were underway, she said. Genocea Biosciences Inc recently dropped work on a pneumonia vaccine in favor of its more promising work on genital herpes.

I am in favor of this vaccine idea, because I am a sex-haver. Although, I think sex-havers may also just need to accept that herpes is a likely inconvenience of the sex-having lifestyle rather than freaking out about it.

I like "popping" the sores before they become too noticeable. I also gave it to my wife and never told her I had it.

We shouldn't vaccinate it because that will only encourage sluts to give more blowjobs and actually I just changed my mind and fully support a vaccine now

Yeah, its like I know the day that herpes is cured everyone will be out banging strangers in the street. But, on the other hand, it really shouldn't stop anyone from doing that now since it is more of an inconvenience than a threat. We are all ambivalent about it, is what I am trying to say.

I don't know how I don't have it honestly.
My friends very old mom told me the shingles vaccine cured her oral herpes, like after she got the shot she never had another cold sore. Shingles is a form of the virus so there may be something to it.
My cat has eye herpes. If you ever feel bad about a cold sore, just remember, my cat has eye herpes.

I have it but not because I banged a chick with it, but I caught it fighting, it's in cuts on my hands and one on my face that have since healed but they break out in sores sometimes. between two and three years ago it began retroinfecting up through my hands then arms

herpes goes latent in nerve cells and when it outbreaks there is a chance it can go upstream instead of out towards your skin.

bottom line is somehow it crossed into my brain over time. very quickly I lost all medical coverage due to unrelated stuff lost my job and almost my house. got a job back but still haven't been able to get covered. there is a chance you can get out fine if you get treatment immediately, delaying treatment means you can have some minor nerve damage but probably be ok

in the majority of untreated cases the patient will die. one hundred percent of survivors well have some level of permanent brain damage. it primarily affects the temporal lobes. but your whole brain can be affected

I used to have a lot of t lobe seizures but they've stopped. The seizures started out small and I would be kind of dazed but then go back to normal. Then they got bad and it was like a rolling brownout feeling like watching blocks in a city lose and regain power, and then eventually they all come back online. The last time it happened not all the blocks lit back up. Some stayed dark. That one was like getting hit by a bus, I think I laid in bed afterwards for like 18 hours straight.

So sometimes I get the feeling like a seizure is gonna start, but since the last one it never happened again. It's not the same though. Kind of flowers for Algernon sometimes. Sometimes it's not so bad.


I new I wouldn't last forever.
