Hi everyone,

I have a very odd question. I have HSV-1 orally. My lips have been swollen because of it. The other day I had the great idea of shaving "down there" and the water hit my lips and ran down the razor that I used to shave. I'm not sure how long it hit the razor or if it hit it at all. But nonetheless, I'm freaking out. I've been obsessing over it for days.... Can someone shed some light on the likelihood of it going down there?

thank you.

You will be ok. Hsv tends to spread to other sites only during a newly acquired infection. If you have had hsv1 for some time your body has made enough antibodies to prevent the infection from spreading.

      Yes, FHC research is all about a full fledged cure (i.e. a sterilization cure). It's not a vaccine. The latent virus is the virus that resides in ganglionic neurons permanently. When the latent virus reactivates (i.e. replicates), it causes shedding, or an actual OB. There are the ganglion along the spine called the Dorsal Root Ganglion (DRG).  HSV infection of the DRG, specifically at the base of the spine, causes genital herpes. Then there's the ganglion on the sides of the face/head.  HSV infection of that ganglion causes oral herpes. The FHC work involves transporting a gene editor to the neurons in the ganglion mentioned above. That gene editor cuts the latent viral DNA in two locations, to eliminate it; i.e. a sterilizing cure. A functional cure, for example, would be something like, stopping the latent virus from replicating, but the latent virus would remain in the ganglion neurons. Stopping it from replicating would prevent OBs and shedding. Of course any therapeutic vaccine is also welcome. I mean, if it reduces OBs and shedding by 80%+, that's very helpful, and it gets closer to a functional cure, but not quite.

      I have my hopes on FHC, but a full fledged cure? This virus hibernate in our spine and can lay dormant there for a lifetime as our immune defense can not get there, I have high hopes but will take a functional cure for now ASAP i am tired of this shit.
