Alot of things are just popping out the woodworks. Not guaranteed how effective any could be, but it seems like something is coming, and someone wants to be first

We’ll see how everything works honestly at this point it’s too soon to tell but of course we’re all sitting here with fingers crossed hoping something sticks lol if we can combine treatments for a stronger response even better

If I had to guess at the progression of new treatment options without applying any specific timeline, it would be Pritelivir, then one or more vaccines, then CRISPR if we get really lucky for a change. The way I feel most days, I would happily take every damn one of those on top of my current pill popping schedule.

I'm still pissed about GEN3...I don't care that it wasn't the best vaccine ever - it was clearly quite safe and would be a very nice complement to current old school AV therapy for people like me whose immune systems seem to be retarded. Wish Genocea would just give a big middle finger to the FDA and sell the vaccine in Mexico or literally anywhere so I could go get it and slow down this f'ing virus.

it was finances that stopped it I think, ademedus has recently had an investor so they could be pushing forward there vaccine, and you never know genocea might get a random investment at some point one...

And for the OP , its good news again. lets hope this progresses more knowledge on vaccinating hsv.

Yep, I agree, finances. But, that's a big part of the problem with the FDA process and the risk/benefit balancing act. Phase 3 trials are ungodly expensive and time consuming, which is a huge part of the reason we are still stuck with nothing more than decades old AV therapy.

Can this article be taken seriously they mention hsv the virus that causes genital warts. I hope that it works but it seems odd that there getting two different viruses mixed up.

Has anyone tried fulvic acid yet in this thread? I've been 5 months OB free and I attribute it to my addition of fulvic acid into my supplement regime.  It does wonders for the body.  If any of ya'll experience symptoms frequently give it a try!

But virus could evolve after years you know lots of vax tests were succesfull on monkeys but failed on humans. I hope it wont. every new research is comig a bit closer to cure.

Yeah there is a lot going on. In another thread Nietzsche found a good video of Betsy Herold speech about the Albert Einstein vaccine- looks like they've found a company to take on the work for a Phase I trial, though wasn't entirely clear to me who or when. Probably still a long way away

      HSV1/2 blood test results

      By WilsoInAus · Posted

      Welcome @Marlena correct you and your partner would benefit from the type specific version of the HSV test (meaning a separate result for HSV-1 and HSV-2). I had no idea the Euroimmun or equivalent actually had a combined version, it is pretty useless given the high incidence of HSV-1. Only one thing to add is that if you are getting frequent symptoms then you can obtain a swab and have this tested for HSV and other things as well.

      HELP - IS THIS HERPES?

      By WilsoInAus · Posted

      Yeah @FirstTimeUser there is nothing in the pic suggestive of genital herpes. It seems both you and your partner have HSV-1 orally and that's actually pretty cool. It means you won't pass it to each other's genitals owing to immunity. If the two of you are concerned about genital HSV-2 then mutually test for the IgG HSV-2 and HSV-1 antibodies.

      HELP - IS THIS HERPES?

      By CHT · Posted

      Hi "firstimeuser".... let's see what "WilsoinAus" thinks but, for what's it worth, I don't see anything in your picture (or description) that looks like herpes..... it actually looks more like a scrape or follicle issue.... maybe even a bug bite.  Also, by the way, the odds of having HSV2 with an outbreak on your testicles is very low.... that is not a typical spot for an HSV2 outbreak.    Have your doctor take a look and if you want some peace of mind, get an IgG antibody test for HSV2 in about 12 weeks (takes that long for antibodies to develop).... but, again, I don't think you have anything to worry about here.... just not seeing anything herpes-related here.    take care....best of luck.

      HSV1/2 blood test results

      By CHT · Posted

      Hi Marlena..... since you stated you've had "herpes on the lips" then you likely have oral HSV1, which the majority of adults worldwide have... the fact your results for HSV1/2 are positive (at least I believe that's what your results show - I don't speak Polish but, I think I'm seeing your results are positive based on the attachment you included) may simply be reading the fact that you have HSV1.... the question is whether you've contracted HSV2 in your genital area. Your description of symptoms could possibly be related to HSV but, it's difficult to verify with certainty based on your description. You may also have contracted a different type of sexually transmitted infection (STI) or a simple fungal infection.   Your doctor does not believe what he/she is seeing is HSV but, unless your doctor has experience with HSV, they could easily misdiagnose your condition.  You need full STI testing. Do you have the option to travel to a larger city in Poland where you could get an appointment to be seen by a doctor with more experience with STIs?  You really need to have an experienced doctor take a look and run tests to check specifically for HSV2 as well as other STIs.  If they can rule out HSV2 or other STIs then hopefully they can then determine what is causing the redness, itching, and swollen condition.... again, it may not be HSV2 but, you need proper testing to verify.  Have you talked to your boyfriend about all this?  Has he had any symptoms on his genitals that are suspect?  Has he taken any tests to check for STIs?   I hope you can get more definitive testing so you know what you are dealing with and how best to treat it.  If you have any other questions/concerns, please come back and let us know.... I hope this helps a little.... best of luck.... take care.

      SUCCESS STORY: Herpes is an opportunity to built trust and connection through vulnerability.

      By CHT · Posted

      Hey Jeremy.... I know only too well that emotional pain you are feeling.... I really do.... and many of us on this site also know that pain.  It's not so much the physical side of having HSV that hurts, it's the stigma and risk of rejection that stings like hell!  You have to do what you think is right as it relates to when you disclose your HSV status when getting to know someone romantically.... I just think it's best to do it relatively early, and certainly before any sexual activity.   Have you looked into dating sites that cater to those with HSV?  I know others have had some luck with meeting partners on these sites.... you don't have to worry about the "disclosure" talk nor would you obviously have to worry about passing along a virus the other person already has.... take a few minutes and search around and see if it's an option you like. By the way, by taking your daily antiviral med and using a condom, your risk of passing along the virus is down around 1.9%.... pretty good odds that if you stick to your regimen you are very unlikely to transmit the virus....keep that in mind when you meet your next girlfriend and need to have "the talk."  That statistic might help calm any concerns about contracting the virus from you. I hope you don't give up.... as tough as it can be to find the right partner, it's still worth trying.... try to stay optimistic and look into some alternate options and see what happens.... all the best.... take care.
